Enclosure

What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Slaheny River. An oval area (7.4m E-W; 5.6m N-S) defined by the grass-covered remains of a drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.4m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog and is best preserved SE-N. The NW portion of the interior is cut slightly into the upslope where it adjoins a relict field boundary (KE103-033002-). 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
