Enclosure in Lettercannon

In rough pasture, on the terrace of a W-facing slope. An oval area (7.1m N-S; 4m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m), the base stones of which protrude above the bog. There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) at NE which is defined by a boulder at the N side. Another boulder is incorporated into the wall at NW. There is a scatter of loose stones in the interior, which slopes down to the S. 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
