Almshouse in Lackaroe

In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. This system of relict field walls extends over an area c. 180m E-W x c. 50m N-S and consists of small fields enclosed by collapsed drystone walls, which are partly obscured by shallow peat. Some stones may have been removed from the walls to build recent field boundaries to the S. A fulacht fia (KE093-052001-) and a hut site (KE093-052002-) are in the immediate vicinity. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
