What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River to the SW. A field wall (T c. 1.2m; H c. 0.4m) commences c. 20m S of the E-W townland boundary between Cappagh and Gortlahard. It extends S for c. 20m then curves around to the W and continues to extend in this direction for c. 57m. The wall survives in a collapsed state with loose stones on the ground on the downslope (S) side. The basal stones protrude from the peat. A possible fulacht fia (KE093-097002-) is c. 50m to the SE and three cairns (KE093-097003-, KE093-097004-, KE093-097005-) are in the immediate vicinity. 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
