What is recorded here

Indicated is a collapsed drystone boundary stretching nearly a kilometre across rough Kerry hill pasture, overlooking Cummer Lough and the Dromoghty valley. Its shallow walls reappear only where bog has been cut back, exposing a forgotten network of stones, enclosures and ritual heat. The site resists easy description because much of it still sleeps beneath wet earth, waiting for rain, knife or patience to bring it into view.

In rough hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking Cummer Lough and the valley of the Dromoghty River. Collapsed drystone walls (T 0.8m; H 0.4m) protrude above the surface of the bog over an irregular shaped area (c. 900m E-W; c. 1.05km N-S). The walls are most clearly exposed in cutaway bog in the SE sector. There is a standing stone (KE101-015002-), a standing stone pair (KE101-015004-), an enclosure (KE101-015005-), a fulacht fia (KE101-015006-), a stone row (KE101-015007-) and a cashel (KE101-015008-) within this network. 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
