Field boundary in Garranes (glanarought By., Ardea Ed) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

An unnamed wall in South-West Kerry still marks a lost boundary, curving thirty-two metres through hill pasture above the Glantrasna valley. Its stones rise barely thirty centimetres from the bog, yet they preserve the shape of a choice made by people who no longer have a name in the story. A cairn waits sixty metres nearby, like a witness kept at a distance. The wall does not need to be grand; it only needs to remain visible enough to be remembered.

In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m) protrude (H 0.3m) above the surface of bog and extend (L c. 32m) to the W-NW-N. The wall runs into bog at both ends. A cairn (KE109-001008-) is c. 60m to the NE. 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
