What is recorded here

Indicated is an oval enclosure in County Kerry, Ireland, where an earth and stone bank still marks a boundary beneath rough pasture at the foot of The Paps of Dana. Its north entrance faces the hills, while the interior slopes south into grass that may have carried sheep, people or memory for generations. The bank is not a complete wall, yet it shapes the land like a breath held across centuries.

In undulating rough pasture, at the foot of the N slopes of The Paps of Dana. An oval area (46m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1.4m), partially obscured by overgrowth and topped with a stone wall, SW-SE and by a scarp (Wth 2.8m; H 1m) SE-SW. The entrance (Wth 4m) is at N. The interior is under pasture and slopes down to the S. Field boundaries abut the bank at N and SE. The bank of the rath forms the townland boundary N-SE.
