What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. A collapsed, relict field wall (T c. 0.6m; H c. 0.4m) extends to the S from outcropping rock for c. 50m then curves around towards the W for a further 15m. The basal stones in this drystone wall protrude from the peat. The area is densely overgrown with ferns. Five hut sites (KE093-085001, KE093-085002-, KE093-085004-, KE093-085005-, KE093-085006-) and two field systems (KE093-085----, KE093-085003-) are in the immediate vicinity.
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.
