Enclosure in Derry West — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

This subcircular enclosure is located in low-lying bog and is bisected by a N-S track which extends from the adjacent modern road. It is marked as a small circular enclosure on the second edition of the OS map. The enclosing bank is of earth and gravel composition, and is well-preserved at W and S. Here it measures 1.8m high internally and 2.5m high externally. It has an average basal width of 8m, and encloses an area 19m N-S x 14.5m E-W. The bank is overgrown and is gapped only by the track. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 736. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
