What is recorded here

In rough peaty pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River to the SW. A collapsed field wall (T c. 0.5m) which protrudes (H c. 0.2m) above the surface of the bog. It emerges from the peat at the SE and meanders in a NW and then a N direction for c. 35m before disappearing beneath the bog. A second relict field boundary (KE093-093002-) is in the immediate vicinity to the NE and a wedge tomb (KE093-093001-) lies c. 60m to the E. 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
