Field boundary in Drombohilly Upper

Field boundary

What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a W-facing slope, overlooking Kenmare Bay. The remains of a network of mainly curvilinear stone walls protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog in an area measuring c. 150m E-W x c. 120m N-S. A typical wall (T 0.7m; H 0.45m) in the network begins 10m N of an enclosure (KE109-001017-), extends to the N for another c. 10m and curves upslope to the E for c. 50m. Several gaps were noted in the walls. 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
