What is recorded here

Indicated (1846) was a circular stone enclosure on the north side of a low ridge beside Lough Currane, visible on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map before land improvement operations levelled it in the early 1990s. Its stones may have marked a dwelling, a boundary or a forgotten ritual place, but the ridge and water still surround the spot where the ring stood. The lake keeps the shape of the loss, reflecting sky instead of wall.

Located on the N side of a low ridge which borders the SW edge of Lough Currane, this site is marked as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map. It was levelled during land improvement operations in the early 1990s. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 812. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
