What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on the lower NE-facing slopes of Knocknaveacal. An elongated D-shaped area (dims. c. 100m E-W; c. 95m N-S at E end) defined by the lower courses of a curving drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.05-0.5m) which projects to the E from the straight W side (L 48m) which is formed by outcropping rock and cliff faces. The drystone wall protrudes above the blanket bog cover. Some of the upright lower course stones are set at right angles to the line of the wall. Three hut sites (KE108-054002-, KE108-054003-, KE108-054004-) are in the SE sector of the enclosure. Another hut site (KE108-054001-) is 24m to the S.
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.
