Enclosure

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.

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. Date of upload: 20 September 2013
