What is recorded here

In rough, stony, hill grazing on shallow bog, on the lower S-facing slopes of Beenduff Mountain. The intermittent remains of relict field walls (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) occur in a roughly quadrilateral area (c. 150m E-W; c. 125m N-S). The mainly curvilinear walls protrude above the surface of shallow bog and are in a collapsed state with rubble embedded in the bog on the downslope side of the walls. Several gaps occur in the walls. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 409-10, no. 1337) 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
