What is recorded here

Enclosure in Coorleagh is a circular drystone ring on a Kerry pasture rise, its low wall grass-covered and its mossy interior raised slightly above the surrounding ground. A standing stone waits one metre west, like a marker forgotten by the crowd but never by the land. The shape suggests exclusion or protection, perhaps a boundary drawn for someone no longer named.

On a rise, in undulating rough pasture. A circular area (diam. 10.9m) defined by the low remains of a grass-covered drystone wall (T 1.3m; H 0.2m). The interior, which is obscured by moss-covered stones, is raised (H 0.4m) above the outer ground level. There is a standing stone (KE102-085002-) 1m to the W. 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
