What is recorded here

Not marked on the OS maps, this stone enclosure is situated on the W bank of the Finnihy river directly E of a small stream. A hut site (KE098-132----) occurs in the same field, a short distance to N. The enclosure, almost completely obscured by overgrowth and field clearance material, measures 20m N-S 19m E-W in overall dimensions. The original walling is only exposed for a very short stretch at S. Here it measures 1.8m wide and is constructed of an inner and outer flanking of drystone masonry which encloses a rubble core. No other features are identifiable. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 702. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
