Enclosure in Coomdeeween

In moor-grass-covered grazing on bog on a W-facing hillslope overlooking the valley of the Carhan River. A circular area (diam. 15m) enclosed by the remains of a low bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.2m) from which large slabs and boulder-type stones (max. H 0.7m) protrude at irregular intervals SW-SE. Elsewhere occasional traces of the bank are evident. A fulacht fia (KE080-039001-) lies c. 20m to the N and an unclassified megalithic tomb (KE080-039----) is c. 50m to the E. 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
