Field system in Lackaroe

Field system

What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the saddle of a ridge extending SE from Curramore Hill. This system of relict field walls covers an area c. 130m NE-SW x c. 80m SE-NW following a gentle slope downhill to the SW. It consists of several collapsed drystone walls (T 0.8m; H 0.3m) which form a number of small irregularly shaped fields. An enclosure (KE093-051002-) and a cashel (KE093-051----) occur in the NE section of the system. Three of the field boundaries abut the cashel and appear to be contemporary with it. 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
