Field boundary in Derrylough

In rough heather-clad hill pasture, on a N-facing slope, overlooking Kenmare Bay and Cloonee Lakes. A section of wall (T 0.6m; H 0.7m) extends (L c. 12m) downslope to the NE from a hut site (KE101-112002-) at the SW, then meanders c. 32m to the E. From here it swings upslope to the SE for c. 33m before disappearing into deeper bog. The wall protrudes above the surface of the bog with stones set at right angles to the line of the wall. 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
