Situated in extensive bog, it tilts slightly towards N. It is roughly triangular in elevation, it stands 1.3m high, and has maximum basal measurements of 1.3m x .6m; E-W. This stone is not marked on the OS maps. An example of rock art (KE083-082----) is located 100m to E. 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. 170.

• KE083-082 Rock art
  Description

  This large, tabular section of rock outcrop is situated on the crest of a low hill in extensive bogland on the lower S slopes of Knocklomena mountain. The site affords a view along the Blackwater river valley to Kenmare Bay at S, and to the Beara Peninsula beyond. The rock stands 1.75m in maximum height and its decorated upper surface measures 4.2m x 2.1m. A number of fault lines cross its upper surface, but these are avoided by the motifs which comprise four cup-and-rings, one cup-and-two rings, fifteen simple cupmarks and three, short, straight grooves. Two of the latter run parallel to one another. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'.

• KE092-001 Standing stone - pair
  Description

  This severely disturbed site is depicted as two standing-stones, titled 'Gallauns', on the first edition of the OS map. It is recorded in the OSNB as 'two tall stones about 4 feet asunder' which were each '7 feet over the surface and 3 1/2 feet thick' (Templeno, 16). The site is located in rough pasture, a short distance N of the Derreendarragh river, and now consists of an earth and stone mound with a large prostrate slab on its surface. The low, flat-topped mound is of subcircular plan and measures 25m in overall diameter. The slab, partially concealed beneath a holly tree, is rectangular in outline. It features a straight edge at its present E end, while its W end tapers to a rounded point. It measures 3m long, 1.1m wide and .4m thick. There is no apparent trace of the second stone. Windele assigned this site to an incorrect townland (Derreendarragh) and recorded that, several months before his visit to it in 1848, the standing stones had been undermined by 'treasure seekers' and toppled one over the other. He noted that the uppermost stone bore an ogham inscription, and that both had formerly stood within a barely perceptible 'circle of stones' which had a diameter of 33 feet (10.1m). This circle was comprised of fifteen or sixteen stones (RIA MS 12 C 11). Brash visited the site in 1872, by which time half of the mound had been cut away and a number of the stones, which he described as having formed a 'megalithic sepulchral arrangement' around the prostrate slabs, had been removed. The ogham stone was damaged, and a large flake had been knocked off its inscribed angle. It measured 10 feet (3.04m) long, 3 feet 6 inches (1.06m) wide and 2 feet 10 inches (.86m) thick, and the inscription was cut in deep, broad grooves (1879, 192-5). Both Windele and Brash read it as: ANM CRUNAN MAQ LUQISMA Macalister recorded that the site was demolished by road-makers in the late 1880s (1945, 213-4). He accepted Hitchcock's illustration (RIA MS 24 E 39) of the ogham inscription, which gives a similar reading to Windele's and Brash's except that it ends with LUQIN. 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. 128.

• KE092-001001 Ogham stone
  Description

  The site is located in rough pasture, a short distance N of the Derreendarragh river, and now consists of an earth and stone mound with a large prostrate slab on its surface. A stone pair, one of which was ogham-inscribed (3.05 x 1.07 x 0.86m converted from Brash, 1879), was discovered here in 1847. Macalister (1945, 213, no. 219) reported that the ogham stone 'having been first wrecked by treasure-seekers in 1848, was completely broken up for metal by road-makers some 40 years later'. According to Windele and Brash, the lettering on the stone was `in the best condition and all quite distinct and well cut' (Macalister, ibid). Prior to its destruction the inscription was read as: ANM CRUNAN MAQ LUQIN. (O’Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, no. 128) Compiled by: Nora White Date of upload: 25 February 2017

  Description

  This earth-tunnelled souterrain, not marked on the OS maps, is located on a low hummock on the W side of a tributary of Derreendarragh river, which flows S from Lough Beg. It was filled in by a mechanical excavator in the early 1980s. It consisted of at least two narrow chambers linked by a creepway (local information). No visible surface trace survives.
