Enclosure in Canburrin

In gently sloping boggy pasture on the lower N slopes of Beenduff, at the head of the Carhan river valley. Set within an extensive field system, four huts and a large circular enclosure. The enclosure KE080-053002- is roughly constructed, with a basal row of intermittent uprights along its inner wall-face. It is divided internally, and its interior is filled with stone collapse. It may have functioned as an animal pen. D: 10m x 8m. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'.
