Recorded monuments

• KE069-014 Hut site
  Description

  This site, which has been levelled, was situated about 30m NW of a cross-inscribed boulder (KE069-015----). A record of it made in the 1930s noted that the hut was in a very collapsed state, forming a cairn of appromimately circular plan. A souterrain, with an opening c. 8m to NW, was reported locally to have had two passages (KAS). This appears to be the 'chambered cairn' referred to by O'Connell (1939a, 47). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1424. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013

  Description

  This cross-inscribed boulder, not marked on the OS maps, is located on the lower SW slopes of Knocknadobar mountain. Its flat upper surface measures 2.8m x 1.6m and is partially overlain by a field boundary. It features three small incised crosses, a deeply grooved equal-armed cross and an inscribed cross-in-circle. The shaft of this latter motif extends beyond the circle and terminates in a flat base. The boulder is locally referred to as a mass-rock. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'.
