What is recorded here

Boulder-burial in Uragh stands in the centre of a multiple-stone circle on a rough pasture terrace overlooking Lough Inchiquin. A flat-topped boulder rests on four stones, aligned northeast to southwest, while small cupmarks and V-shaped incisions mark its surface. Three other boulder-burials sit nearby, and a fulacht fia abuts the circle, suggesting this was a place for feeding, remembering and gathering rather than a forgotten heap of rock.

In rough pasture on a terrace of a N-facing slope overlooking Lough Inchiquin. This boulder-burial stands in the centre of a multiple-stone circle (KE101-025001-) and consists of a flat-topped boulder (1.65m x 1.2m; T 0.5m) supported on four stones, three of which are small. The boulder is orientated NE-SW and some small cupmarks and linear incised markings, V-shaped in section, were noted on it. A fulacht fia (KE101-025004-), abuts the axial stone of the stone circle and a group of three boulder-burials (KE101-025003-, KE101-025005-, KE101-025006-) stand c. 8-10m SW.
