What is recorded here

In pasture, on an undulating terrace, on a S-facing slope in the valley of the Feabunaun stream. This possible rath is indicated as an oval enclosure (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map and as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1895 OS 6-inch map. It is now defined by an arc of a scarp (L 16m; H 1.45m) SSE-SSW faced with large stones. Field-clearance rubble is piled against the scarp face. The remainder of the possible rath is not visible at ground level. 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
