What is recorded here

In boggy pasture, high on the S slopes of Knocknafreaghane, overlooking Kenmare Bay. A collapsed circular drystone hut with well-preserved internal facing at SE and W, at least .9m high. Its wall is c. 2m wide and the collapse, most dense at S, measures up to 4m wide. D: 6.9m. A fionnán enclosure with a central stone platform abuts the site at SW. Old field walls, partly submerged in the boggy ground, occur to S and W. They generally run NE-SW and E-W, average .5m high and are .8m wide. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1134. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
