The National Monuments Service's description
National Monument No. 380. Calluragh Burial Ground (KE098-029001-): This site is located in poorly drained land, about 130m from the W shore of Lough Currane. It comprises a poorly preserved, subcircular enclosure containing a hut, a stone cross and a cross-inscribed slab. There is no visible trace of the souterrain (KE098-029005-) noted in the centre of the site by Henry (1957, 133). Numerous uninscribed grave-markers occur throughout the site and presumably relate to its use as a ceallúnach. These are particularly heavily concentrated in its S half.
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. 931. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
