What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on a break of the steep NE-facing slope of Droppa Mountain. A circular area (diam. 6.6m) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m at base, 0.4m at top; H 1.15m) which tapers from the base to the top. The lower course protrudes above the bog. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered along the perimeter, especially along the downslope at NE. There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) at NE.
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.
