Enclosure in Derreenacahill

In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slope of Coombane Hill and within a field system (KE084-022----). A D-shaped enclosure (9m E-W) defined by the remains of a drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.1m) N-S with a straight W side (L 7.2m; H 0.3m). The walls protrude above the surface of bog. The wall (H 0.7m) N-NE is part of the relict field system. Another section of the field system abuts the NW corner of this enclosure. There is an entrance at NE. 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
