• KE094-026007 Field boundary
  Description

  In hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope to the N of Carran Mountain. An E-W curvilinear stone wall extends (L c. 200m) from a stream at E to another stream at W.

The walls (T 0.2m; H 0.75m) are collapsed with fallen stones protruding through the bog. The walls appear to be set on clay soil beneath blanket bog and, where the depth of the bog increases, the walls disappear. Upright stones (H 0.75m) occur at intervals along the walls. Four hut sites (KE094-026005-, KE094-026006-, KE094-026010-, KE094-026011-) abut the S face of the curving field boundary.

• KE094-030 Megalithic tomb - wedge tomb
  Description

  In rough boggy pasture, on a SW-sloping ridge at the head of a valley to the NW of Carran in the Shehy Mountains. A wedge-shaped chamber (L 2.35m; Wth 1.6m at the WNW end) aligned WNW-ESE. Two sidestones make up the N and S sides of the tomb, though a gap between the stones on the S side suggests there was a third stone, now missing. A single septal-stone closes the WNW end of the chamber and a backstone is visible at the ESE end. Projecting sidestones, as well as fallen stones outside the WNW end, suggest a short portico. The large roofstone (2.35m x 2.1m; T 0.27m) rests on each of the sidestones. Single orthostats on the N and S sides of the tomb probably represent an outer wall.
