Enclosure

What is recorded here

In rough boggy pasture, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain, overlooking the valley of the Owbaun River. A circular area (7.2m N-S; 7m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m) consisting of large stones which protrude above the surface of the bog. This enclosure externally abuts the E arc of an enclosure (KE084-006001-). A hut site (KE084-006010-) externally abuts the S arc of this enclosure and there is another hut site (KE084-006004-) c. 10m to the ESE. 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
