The National Monuments Service's description
A large number of low, upright slabs occur on a raised area (in the enclosure KE080-046001-), measuring 12m N-S x 15.5m E-W, in the N angle of the internal dividing wall. These probably relate to the use of the site as a ceallúnach (OSNB Caher, 30). Brash recorded that the burial of an unbaptised child took place at Killogrone in 1873 (1879, 240).
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 959. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
