What is recorded here
Enclosure in Park is a slightly raised circular rath in County Kerry, Ireland, with a standing stone on its north-east perimeter. The low scarp and pale soil shadow suggest a boundary drawn before written memory, while nearby forestry hides the horizon and keeps the place small enough to walk around in minutes. Cattle may have grazed the same grass for centuries, pressing the ancient line into turf and forgetting the shape it repeated.
In pasture, with restricted views due to nearby forestry. A slightly raised circular area (c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a low scarp. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) is visible on an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2120/2121) taken in 1989. A standing stone (KE067-011001-) is located on the perimeter of the rath, at NE.
