What is recorded here

On uneven ground in a coniferous forest on a N-facing slope. A roughly circular area (c. 65m E-W; c. 55m N-S) enclosed by the lower courses of a partially collapsed, moss-covered, drystone wall (T 0.7m; max. H 1m). The larger stones and boulders on the lower courses protrude above the surface of bog. Forest debris obscures much of the enclosing wall. There is a hut site (KE081-048002-) in the N quadrant of the interior and another (KE081-012----) c. 10m to the N of the enclosure. 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
