What is recorded here

Enclosure in Annagh (trughanacmy By., Kiltallagh Ed) is a circular earthen ring beside a flooding river in County Kerry, Ireland. Cattle still graze the marshy ground above its low bank, while the hollowed interior drops below the surrounding earth. The western gap may be an entrance or merely a broken edge, leaving the purpose of the ring unresolved beneath the wet grass.

'The land is quite marshy and wet and is used as rough grazing for cattle at the moment. Several low banks of earth and stone also occur in this complex, but, as yet, their relationship to the barrows is unknown. Located on the west bank of a small river which is prone to flooding, c.200m from the coast in an area of marshy grassland......situated on the immediate north side of the above ring barrow [KE038-140----] is a small circular enclosure, measuring 16.0m N-S by 18.0m E-W in total diameter. The site consists of a low bank 1.00m in width and 0.30m in external height. A 2.50m wide break in the bank occurs at west-this may represent an entrance feature, or it may be a natural break in the bank. The interior of this enclosure has a slightly hollowed out appearance, resulting in the lowest level of the interior being c.0.75m below the level of the top of the enclosing element.'
