What is recorded here

In pasture, on a terrace at the base of a rock scarp, on a S-facing slope. A rectangular enclosure (6.3m E-W; 2.9m N-S) open on the E side and defined by a collapsed drystone wall (H 0.1-0.5m) on the S, W and N sides. The interior is grass-covered. The construction of the enclosure is similar to that of a turf stand, yet there is little or no peat cover on these rocky slopes. There is a hut site (KE085-022003-) c. 40m to the W. 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
