This subcircular enclosure is located in low-lying bog and is bisected by a N-S track which extends from the adjacent modern road. It is marked as a small circular enclosure on the second edition of the OS map. The enclosing bank is of earth and gravel composition, and is well-preserved at W and S. Here it measures 1.8m high internally and 2.5m high externally. It has an average basal width of 8m, and encloses an area 19m N-S x 14.5m E-W. The bank is overgrown and is gapped only by the track. 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. 736. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013 - KE099-008: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE099-008----. This approximately D-shaped burial ground is located on top of a low rise, on the S side of the Sneem-Waterville road, and overlooks a wide tract of low-lying landscape to N. It was described as a 'burial place for children only' in the OSNB (Kilcrohane, 5), and was last used as a place of interment in the late 1930s (Sugrue 1993, 36). The overall dimensions of the site are 20.5m N-S x 29m E-W. Remnants of an enclosing bank of earth and stone are visible along the N and W sides. Its interior, densely overgrown with holly trees and furze bushes, is occupied by a number of N-S rows of uninscribed, upright grave-markers; these average .3m high. Located close to the E margin of the site is an L-shaped arrangement of slabs, set end-to-end and measuring 5.7m N-S x 1.9m E-W. Numerous quartz stones are scattered throughout the site and a modern plaque, inscribed 'In Loving Memory of the Babes Buried Here RIP', has been erected outside the site at N, facing the modern road. 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. 996. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013 - KE099-025: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE099-025----. This standing stone is described in the OSNB as having been ‘lately thrown down by a treasure seeker’ (Kilcrohane, 27). Not marked on the OS maps, it was located on top of a ridge, in an area surrounded by bog. Its siting commanded a panoramic view across the neighbouring low-lying land. Part of the stone survived up to the 1950s, (local information), but is no longer visible. 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. 238. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013 - KE099-032: Souterrain, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE099-032----. A souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is locally reputed to exist at this location. Its entrance was apparently filled in and planted with holly trees many years ago. The site is now marked by a heavily overgrown depression, 3m x 1.5m, located in pasture near the S bank of the Owreagh river. 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. 872. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
