## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- KE087-050: Cist, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE087-050----. During field clearance operations in 1984, a cist grave, located on a short gravel ridge at this location, was destroyed (Cleary 1985, 215-23). The cist consisted of four slabs set on edge to form a box-like structure. Each slab measured between .3m and .4m long and up to .45m high. The base of the structure was paved with three slabs. It is not known if the cist was covered with a capstone. The landowner retrieved a sherd of pottery and some cremated bone fragments from its interior. The sherd has been identified by Cleary as probably belonging to the pygmy cup category of Bronze Age pottery. The cremated bone was identified as human, with at least one adult and one juvenile represented. 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. 1467. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
