What is recorded here

A circular stone enclosure (KE090-009001-) with internal diameters of 12m N S x 11.6m E-W is located at the N end of this complex. It is partly overlain by later walling, particularly at W, and a modern enclosure abuts its internal face at SE. The enclosure wall survives to a maximum height of .5m and is on average 1.5m wide. It consists of a rubble core faced externally and internally with large flat slabs. Intermittent boulder-like slabs, set on edge, flank both its inner and outer faces. An upright slab, 1.2m high, defines the N side of a 1.1m wide entrance gap, while two smaller uprights form the other side. 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. 47. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
