• KE093-025002 Cairn - radial-stone cairn
  Description

  In rough pasture, in an area of undulating moorland c. 1km S of the Roughty River. Indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as an arc of stones (C c. 30m) SSE-N, abutting a NW-SE field boundary. Nine radially set stones (max. L 0.6m; H c. 0.5m) mark the edge of a cairn (diam. 7m; H 1m). The surface of the cairn is largely exposed and consists of stones up to 1.5m in maximum dimensions. Four stones towards the middle of the cairn suggest the possibility of an inner ring. An accompanying standing stone (KE093-025003-) is c. 3m to the N. A five-stone circle (KE093-087----) lies c. 200m to the NNE. (Ó Nualláin 1984b, 77-8) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry.

• KE093-026001 Anomalous stone group
  Description

  In pasture, on an E-W ridge c. 750m S of the Roughty River. The group consists of three standing stones in an E-W alignment. The westernmost stone (H 1.3m; 1.4m x 0.65m) is roughly rectangular in plan and shape and is orientated NE-SW. The middle stone (H 2.45m; 1.6m x 0.5m) which bears an ogham inscription (see KE093-026002-), stands 5m to the E and is orientated E-W. It is roughly rectangular in plan and shape with an irregularly tapering top. The ogham inscription, parts of which are very eroded, occurs along its SE edge beginning c. 0.4m and extending to c. 1.65m above ground level. Macalister (1902, 121, no. 115) read the inscription as: LUGUN ILOCI DMAQ I ALLOTO.

Two mature trees grow in the interior. There is an anomalous stone group (KE093-026001-) c. 220m to the NNE, a radial-stone cairn (KE093-025002-) c. 200m to the SSW and a stone row (KE093-088----) c. 250m to the E.

• KE093-088 Stone row
  Description

  In rough peaty pasture, on a hillock c. 4km E of Kenmare. A row of three upright stones, aligned NE-SW, and measuring 4m in overall length. The NE stone (L 0.8m; T 0.5m; H 0.8m) is 0.9m from the middle stone (L 0.65m; T 0.55m; H 0.8m). The SW stone (L 1m; T 0.5m; H 0.9m) is 0.65m from the middle stone. Two radiocarbon determinations are available for samples taken 5m W of the stone row (Lynch 1981, 97-9). That from basal peat yielded a date of c. 70 BC and charcoal from 3-5cm below the surface of the mineral soil yielded a date of 1380 BC (ibid.). An anomalous stone group (KE093-026001-) lies c. 300 to the NW.
