What is recorded here

Within a field system (KE103-020001-). A roughly circular area (10.3m E-W; 9.4m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.5m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog (D 0.3m). Upright stone slabs are visible in the wall from SE-SW. There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) at SE. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.3m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is a hut site (KE103-020003-) c. 40m to the W. 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
