Indicated (1846). — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Indicated is a low stony ringfort overlooking the Finglas river in County Kerry, Ireland. It encloses a narrow oval space about twenty-four metres long, with three shallow circular depressions along its inner south-east edge that may have supported small huts. The bank barely rises above the pasture now, yet it still marks the place where people lived, worked and perhaps watched the river below.

This site is located in pasture overlooking the Finglas river and is depicted as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map. It survives as a low stony bank which is best preserved at N, where it barely rises above surrounding ground level. It averages 1.6m wide and encloses an area 24m N-S. Three shallow, roughly circular depressions, averaging 2m in diameter, abut the inner face of the bank in the site's SE quadrant. These may represent the foundations of hut sites. 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. 633. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
