Enclosure in Lackaroe

In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. A roughly oval area (c. 150m WNW-ENE; c. 85m SSW-NNE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall, sections of which are grassed over. The line of the S boundary of the enclosure is irregular. A turf stand abuts the NE extremity of the enclosure, two adjoining hut sites (KE093-083001-, KE093-083006-) are within the enclosure, a cairn (KE093-083002-) is c. 40m to the N, a fulacht fia (KE093-052001-) and a relict field system (KE093-052003-) to the S. There is a hut site (KE093-052002-) c. 25m to the S. 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
