Enclosure in Fahaduff

Enclosure

What is recorded here

Fahaduff holds a lost enclosure on a sloping break in Kerry pastureland, facing a narrow stream valley and open southern countryside. High ground presses close on three sides, while the field fences have been levelled until no surface remains. The place may have marked a home, a boundary or a seasonal gathering point, but human hands have smoothed its edges into ordinary grass.
Levelled enclosure surveyed in 1987 by the Castleisland District Archaeological Survey and described as follows; 'Situated on a break in pastureland sloping down SW to a small stream cut valley which is running off in a southerly direction. There is a good view over the low-lying countryside extending to the south. High ground lies close to the NW, N & NE. The field fences in the area have been levelled and there is no surface remains'.
