What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SW-facing slope overlooking Kenmare Bay. A raised circular area (diam. 26m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 1.1m) NE-E, by a scarp (H 3.7m) E-NW and truncated NW-NE by an E-W townland boundary. The interior slopes down to the SW. Trees grow around the perimeter and the northern part of the interior is covered with overgrowth. 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
