Local tradition on the Corca Dhuibhne holds that a burial ground lies directly west of the southernmost chalets of the Dún an Óir Hotel complex, in an area where, at some unspecified point in the past, sand was being removed and human remains came to light. No excavation followed, no monument was raised, and the ground closed over its contents again.

The site sits in a landscape that has always kept its archaeology close to the surface. The Dingle Peninsula is extraordinarily dense with prehistoric and early Christian remains, and unmarked or informally remembered burial grounds are not unusual in this part of Kerry, where communities buried their dead for centuries in places that were meaningful locally but never formally recorded. What makes this particular spot quietly notable is precisely the combination of physical evidence, however briefly glimpsed, and continuing oral tradition. The bones uncovered during sand removal were enough to fix the memory of the place, even without a date, a name, or any further investigation. The archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, compiled by J. Cuppage in 1986, recorded the tradition, which is the closest thing to documentation the site has ever received.
