Enclosure in Staigue — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

This small, rectangular enclosure, possibly a house site, is located in the field immediately E of Staigue Fort (KE099-13001-). Not marked on the OS maps, it measures 11.3m N-S x 9.7m E-W internally, and is defined by a low, severely denuded earthen bank, 1.5m wide. A 2.8m wide gap occurs at NW and may represent an entrance feature. Extending from the enclosure's SW angle is a low earthen bank, 32m long. On its S side are a series of old cultivation ridges (KE099-035001-). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 771. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
