What is recorded here
In pasture, on a S-facing slope, immediately to the S of a road. The view is restricted by trees. The remains of a possible circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) are visible, as a differential growth pattern ENE-NW, on an aerial photograph (ACAP, V 178/55-56) which was taken in 1955. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. A tree-lined NNW-SSE field boundary crosses the approximate W half of this enclosure, which has been landscaped as the front lawns for two houses.
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.
