What is recorded here
This site is marked on the 1842 OS map as a semi-circular bank, which survives from the NW through W to SSE. It would appear to have been cut by a fieldbank running in a NW-SE direction. This can also be seen on the 1916 map, but a track now runs slightly through the NW sector. Traces of the remains of this enclosure can be seen today. The semi-circular bank is on average 7m wide and up to 1m high.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1058. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
