What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a NE-facing slope, overlooking Gowlane Lake. An irregular-shaped area (int. 96m NW-SE; 88m NE-SW) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.6m). The large stones in the lower courses, which are partly grass covered, protrude above the blanket bog. Rubble from the upper courses is strewn along the perimeter. Two hut sites (KE108-049008-, KE108-049002-) are adjacent to the internal faces of the NW and NE walls of the enclosure respectively. Another enclosure (KE108-049006-) is 18m to the SE.
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.
