What is recorded here

Located on a slight eminence overlooking Darrynane Bay to SW, this poorly preserved enclosure occurs in a dense thicket. A more recent square enclosure overlies it, and the original enclosing bank is only clearly visible at NE. It is marked as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map, and the overall dimensions of the site are 12m N-S x 19m E-W. At NE, large blocky boulders were used in its construction, but these are now sod-covered and survive only one course high. The remnants of a possible hut (KE106-056001-) appear to underlie the NE side of the later enclosure. 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. 713. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
