What is recorded here
Cutaway bog has swallowed most of the field, leaving only protruding stones and a ghost line on the slope. The boundary still touches Drombohilly Upper, the Glantrasna valley, and the places marked nearby. What is missing is not the same as never having existed.
In rough pasture on cutaway bog, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Glantrasna River. The remains of curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) extend to the SE for c. 65m through an area of largely cutaway bog (D 0.3-0.4m). Stones protrude above the surface of the remaining uncut bog. A standing stone (KE109-001016-) is c. 90m to the NW and there is an enclosure (KE109-001033-) c. 40m to the SE.
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.
