The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE109-011004-) and near the centre of a children's burial ground (KE109-011001-). A partially exposed lintel (H 0.25m) reveals the opening to a chamber (Wth 1.3m; H 1.1m) which extends at least 2m to the N. The chamber, which is roofed with lintels, is mainly earth-cut but its E wall is drystone-built.
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.
