What is recorded here
An area of overgrowth marks the position of the circular enclosure and associated features which are marked at this location on the first edition of the OS map. The site survives a semicircular scarp, c. 2m high, present only along the W half. The enclosing bank has been removed and its outline is no longer discernible. A trackway runs N-S adjacent to the site at W. There is no surface trace of the very small enclosure (KE092-032003-) which was depicted on the OS map abutting the N side of the site, or of the two possible structures, indicated as circular outlines, which were located in the site's interior.
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. 788. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
