Enclosure in Lohart

Enclosure

What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, near the S shore of Kenmare Bay; the ground to the W and NW is marshy. A semicircular area (28m ENE-WSW) defined by a scarp (Wth c. 1.5m; H c. 0.6m) SSE-NNW and by a linear drystone field boundary on the straight ENE side (L 50m). The base of the scarp is eroded W-NW and there is a slight indent (Wth 0.5m) at SW. The interior slopes gently down to the WSW. 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
