Enclosure

What is recorded here

Within a field system (KE103-020001-). A roughly circular area (8m N-S; 7m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.6m) which is best preserved NW-NE. Outcropping rock is incorporated into the wall SE-S. The N portion of the interior is cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is covered with rubble. There is a relict field boundary (KE103-020009-) in the immediate vicinity to the NE. A hut site (KE103-020007-) is c. 8m to the NW. 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
