What is recorded here
The Kerry Field Club visited this site in 1941-42. Here an ancient roadway was discovered under 4 feet of bog. This roadway runs through a bog due S of Caher Gal (KE017-011----) and was constructed by driving oak stakes into the ground and laying horizontal beams across them. The space between the planks was filled with rubble. The roadway runs N-S, crossing about 200m of bog.
