Enclosure

What is recorded here

Enclosure in Fustane Lower is a circular stone wall on the east-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain in County Kerry, Ireland. Eleven contiguous stones, each about 0.4m high, mark a 5.3m diameter area in rough peaty pasture. A cairn lies 70m to the southwest and a pre-bog field boundary 60m to the east-southeast. The enclosure still stands above the bog surface, waiting to be understood.
