What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on steep N-facing slope overlooking the Roughty River valley. The most westerly of two small roughly circular sheepfolds (diam. c. 4m) indicated on 1895 OS 6-inch map and c. 40m apart. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. Recently constructed farm roads, which zig-zags through the hillside, may have damaged these enclosures. Remains of a third possible enclosure (KE094-006002-) was located c. 45m 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
