What is recorded here

This circular enclosure was marked on the 1842 OS map as being situated in the corner of a field with three fieldbanks touching it. It appears to have been somewhat levelled when it appeared on the later edition map, with a fieldbank running along the NE side. No visible trace of this site survives. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 449. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 2 August 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
