Recorded monuments

• KE089-035 Stone row
  Description

  Located on the SE side of Coomduff and overlooking the Cummeragh river, this site consists of a row of three stones incorporated into a low cairn. The row is oriented NE-SW and is c. 7m long. The stone at NE is 1.7m high and measures .7m x .65m at base. The second stone, appreciably taller, stands 1.75m to SW; it is 3.3m high and measures .95m x .75m at base. The third stone stands on edge 2.2m further to SW; measuring 2.5m x 1m, it stood in an upright position up to the 1930s (local information). The cairn consists of a platform-like terrace of stone and measures 7.6m long and up to 1m high above the ground level on its SE side. A quantity of quartz is evident in its composition. The landowner indicated that the cairn was originally larger, and that it was faced on its downslope side. O'Connell reported that a 'bronze staff was found in it (1939a, 31), but the present location of this object is unknown. The site is locally referred to as the 'Cloughane'. 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. 107.

• KE089-053 Stone circle - multiple-stone
  Description

  This small monument, not marked on the OS maps, is located on the NW side of the valley of the Cummeragh river, in rough pastureland that overlooks Lough Currane to SW. It consists of an oval arrangement of five stones with its longer axis lying NE-SW. It may have originally consisted of seven stones. Its interior features an infill of field debris, .5m high. The largest stone of the circle is at W; it stands 2m high and measures 1.6m x .4m at base. At SW is a squat, block-like boulder measuring .83m x .9m x .5m. The orthostat at S is 1.8m high, 1.1m wide and .5m thick. The limits of the E side of the circle are defined only by field debris. The stone at NE inclines markedly outwards and stands .8m high, 1.1m wide and .4m thick. A prostrate boulder-like slab occurs adjacent to this at N, and measures 1.9m x 1.2m x .4m. Neither the portals nor the axial stone of the monument can be identified (Ó Nualláin 1984a, 26). The 'bronze staff from the stone row and cairn in this townland (KE089-035----) was mistakenly associated by Ó Nualláin with this site. An outlying monolith (KE089-053001-), 6.65m NW of the possible stone circle, is incorporated into a field wall. It stands 1.3m high and measures .6m x .5m at base. It is of regular elevation. 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. 381.
