What is recorded here

In rough commonage, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a meandering field wall (T 0.5m) protrude (H c. 0.3m) above the surface of the bog (D c. 0.3m). It extends for c. 40m in a roughly E direction from a more recent N-S field boundary and is partly grass covered. A second relict field boundary (KE093-093003-) and a wedge tomb (KE093-093001-) lie in the immediate vicinity to the SW. 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
