What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a level break on a S-facing slope in the valley of the Coomeelan stream. An oval area (9.9m E-W; 8m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed wall (T 0.8m; H 0.75m) of large stones which protrudes above the surface of the bog. Several upright stones were noted along the perimeter. There are two enclosures (KE102-041----, KE102-041001-) c. 50m and 30m to the NE, respectively. A possible boulder-burial (KE102-041002-) is c. 60m to the NE and a fulacht fia (KE102-041004-) c. 40m 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
