Field boundary in Esk West

In rough hill pasture and cutaway bog, on a NW-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Esk River. A collapsed field wall (T c. 0.7m; H c. 0.4m) emerges from a turf bank at NW and extends in a SE direction for c. 150m, disappearing at intervals beneath uncut bog. A gap (Wth c. 50m) occurs after this initial stretch and, following this, another stretch of relict field wall of similar dimensions extends (L 45m) in a general S direction. 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
