Enclosure in Glanrastel

In rough hill pasture, c. 220m N of the Glanrastel River, on the S-facing slope of Cummeenbaun Mountain. An irregular-shaped area (c. 85m N-S; c. 65m E-W) defined by the lower courses of a roughly built, collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.2-0.7m) which narrows from the base to the top. The lower course stones protrude above the blanket bog. The wall generally meanders throughout the area with very few straight stretches noted. Four hut sites (KE109-092001-, KE109-092002-, KE109-092003-, KE109-092005-) and one enclosure (KE109-092004-) are situated within the enclosure. 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
