What is recorded here

In pasture, on the W slope of Knockbrack. A roughly circular area (12m E-W; 10.7m N-S) defined by a low earth and stone bank (Wth c. 2m; max. ext. H 0.95m) except ENE-ESE. The enclosing element contains large stones SSW-W and forms a low stone wall W-ENE. The entrance is at E. The interior is raised at W to create a level surface. There is a scattering of stones to the exterior at W. The enclosure is clearly visible on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, V 99-100) taken in 1973. 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
