What is recorded here
Knockanuha Hill holds a six-metre circular enclosure on its south-facing slope, where scattered stones mark a boundary across peaty clay. It sits within a larger possible enclosure and near a cairn thirty metres to the northwest, suggesting a layered human presence rather than a lonely marker. The grass has long since softened the edges, but the shape remains clear enough to imagine people moving through that hill pasture, perhaps tending animals, performing ritual, or simply claiming a place on the landscape.
In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on the S-facing slope of Knockanuha Hill and within a larger possible enclosure (KE094-045----). A circular grass-covered area (diam. 6m) defined by a scatter of stones (Wth c. 1m). The stones are set on peaty clay soil. A cairn (KE094-045001-) is situated on higher ground, 30m 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.
