What is recorded here

Half a metre of stubborn stone breaks the bog in County Kerry, a small circular mound watching the northeast slope. Its western edge still holds a tight kerb, proving hands once arranged the chaos into a deliberate circle. The pasture around it has changed owners and names, but the cairn remains a quiet marker of human presence in the deep wet dark.

In rough hill pasture, on an elevation on a NE-facing slope. A circular cairn (diam. 2.6m; H 0.6m) of stones, varying in size and shape, protrudes above the surface of the bog. Stones are set contiguously around the perimeter at SW and W, indicating a kerb. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011

A circular cairn, likely Bronze Age in date, possibly a funerary or ritual monument; its small size and location suggest a local or regional significance not yet fully documented.
