What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the NE-facing slope of Esknabrock Hill. A rectangular area (4.6m E-W; 3.3m N-S) with slightly rounded corners, defined by a roughly built drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.8m) on the N, E and S sides. The enclosure abuts the vertical face of outcropping rock along the S side which is topped with a short section of drystone walling. There is an entrance (Wth 0.4m) in the NW corner. The interior and exterior are obscured by ferns and a scatter of loose stones. The enclosure appears to have been used recently as an animal shelter. 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
