What is recorded here

In pasture, on an elevation, on the lower N-facing slopes of Knockowen. An arc (C 16m) of a low earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) is evident SW-NE. The NE and SW tips of the bank abut the external NE and SW corners of the wall of a children's burial ground (KE109-011001-). The bank may have originally continued NE-SW, where a farm road now exists. 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
