- KE101-007001 Stone circle - multiple-stone
Description
In the garden of a house, to the N of the Kenmare-Castletownbere road and c. 9.5km SW of Kenmare. In 1841 this stone circle was described as 'a circle of standing stones with a small cromlech [KE101-007002-] in the centre. The circle is thirty-five feet, six inches [10.82m] in diameter and composed of twelve standing stones, each being from four feet to five feet ten inches [1.21m-1.77m] in height, three feet [0.91m] wide and two feet [0.6m] thick' (OSL, 176). According to Ó Nualláin (1984a, 28, no. 44), the stone circle was in a ruinous condition for many years and was reconstructed c. 1964 and most likely now bears little resemblance to its original form. It now consists of a U-shaped arrangement of loosely set upright stones with a possible boulder-burial (KE101-007002-) in the centre. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
- KE101-007002 Boulder-burial
Description
In the garden of a house, to the N of the Kenmare-Castletownbere road and c. 9.5km SW of Kenmare. The monument stood in the centre of a multiple-stone circle (KE101-007001-). In 1841 it was described as a 'Cromlech…which extends East and West and inclines considerably to the East. The top flag is supported by three small stones not more than three feet [0.91m] in height; it measures six feet [1.82m] from East to West, five feet [1.52m] from North to South and is one foot, three inches [0.38m] in thickness' (OSL, 176). All that now remains of this possible boulder-burial is a flat slab (max. dim. 1.8m). (Ó Nualláin 1978, 98-9, no. 40). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
