She noted "A goodish trek through an enchanted wood and out into terrain resembling the Cuillins on Skye. We heard a cuckoo." (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)

Cashelkeelty W submitted by frogcottage42 : This shows the relationship between Cashelkeelty.W and the stone row which stands approx 80m to the East and is on a similar alignment to the remaining stones of Cashelkeelty.W. The small stones visible in the foreground are the kerbs of a mediaeval road which follows the line of an ancient trackway and remained in use as the main Kenmare to Castletown-Bere road until the early 20th Cent.

Approx 80m to west of a three stone row and five stone circle lies this multiple stone circle (monument number KE108-013001-).

The remains of this stone circle comprised two upright stones (1.4m x 0.4m; H 2.55m; 0.9m x 0.7m; H 1.5m), 3.4m apart and between them a fallen stone resting against outcropping rock. The fallen stone was re-erected following on from the excavation in 1977 which revealed that the upright stones formed part of a circle (diam. c. 17m) of eleven or thirteen stones (Lynch 1981, 65-9). The only artifact recovered during the excavation was a flint scraper. A standing stone (KE108-013008-) which was indicated c. 30m NW of the stone circle on the 1897 OS 6-inch map, but which does not survive, may have been an outlier of this stone circle.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
