What is recorded here
In rough upland pasture, on top of a heather and gorse-covered rise on the lower NE-facing slopes of Knockbrack Mountain. The remains of a curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) protrude above the surface of the bog and extend to the S from an enclosure (KE094-015001-) for a distance of c. 40m. A second wall of similar type extends to the N from the enclosure for c. 50m. The stones in the wall are mainly large and are partially obscured by overgrowth.
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.
