What is recorded here
Enclosure in Lerrig South is a barely visible circular feature in County Kerry, marked only by a standing stone on its east edge. It may have been a boundary, a shrine or a home for people who no longer leave traces. What remains is a suggestion of shape, waiting for rain or memory to complete it.
Described by Toal (1995, 46-7, no. 22) as a circular enclosure (KE020-030001-) which is now 'barely visible'. A standing stone (KE020-030002-), is situated on its E sector.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 22. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
