Enclosure in Maulagowna

Enclosure

What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope of Knocknagorraveela Mountain. A circular area (diam. 4.9m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. There is a possible entrance at W. The SW portion of the interior is raised (H 0.4m) and the NE portion is cut (D 0.8m) into upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered around the enclosure externally. 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
