What is recorded here
Dromkeen East, County Kerry: a circular earthwork recorded in 1841 and erased by 1916. It may have been a farmyard, a boundary marker, or a child's fort built from river clay. The land kept its shape long enough for one survey, then gave it back to grass and rain.
Situated SE of KE015-027----, this circular enclosure is marked on the 1841-42 OS map. It is not marked on the 1916 edition and no surface trace survives.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 550. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
