Enclosure

What is recorded here

In a coniferous wood, on a bog on the lower N-facing slopes of Beenduff. An irregular-shaped area (38m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by the remains of a drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.7m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. Short sections of the wall run on into deeper bog at intermittent intervals. Three hut sites (KE080-070003-, KE080-070004-, KE080-070005-) abut the perimeter of this enclosure and another two (KE080-070001, KE080-070002-) lie immediately S of the SW corner. 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
