What is recorded here

Enclosure in Camp is a small oval fort in County Kerry, Ireland, still standing as a slight rise above the field. People lived there, defended that little circle, and left behind only a faint line of stone and memory. The land keeps the shape even when the names and tools are gone.

An oval area, 22m NNW-SSE and c. 11.9m E-W, raised a maximum of .6m above the surrounding field. There are traces of a stony bank along the perimeter at NNE, and a single stone set inside this may be the remains of a wall face. The condition of the site has not changed within living memory but it is known locally as a fort. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 646. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
