What is recorded here

Overlooking Cummeenduff Glen from a rocky plateau on the SE facing slopes of Broaghnabinnia is a complex of three drystone structures, not marked on the OS maps. The largest, at W, is a roughly constructed subcircular enclosure which measures 9.5m x 6.8m internally. Its wall survives .7m in height and .75m in width. Immediately at E are two subrectangular enclosures, possibly hut sites, which may be more recent in date. They have internal dimensions of 4.8m x 2.1m (KE083-001001-) and 4.4m x 2.2m (KE083-001002-), and their walls survive .6m high and .8m wide on average. 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. 711. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
