Enclosure in Erneen

In heather-clad, rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slopes of Barrerneen. An oval area (10m N-S; 6.5m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.65; H 0.8m) which is best preserved along the N arc. The N portion of the interior is cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is covered in rubble. There are two hut sites (KE103-035003-, KE103-035001-) c. 20m to the N and c. 80m to the NW, respectively. 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
