Field boundary in Sheheree

Field boundary

What is recorded here

Sheheree is a steep west-facing pasture in County Kerry where a ghost wall radiates from the rath. The vanished bank stretches fifty metres across the slope, visible only in aerial photography rather than under human feet. It may have divided pasture or marked a boundary forgotten by later fields. The rath still stands while its wall has dissolved into grass and memory.
In pasture, on a steep W-facing slope. The cropmark of a linear bank (L c. 50m), radiating from the NW arc of the rath (KE067-033----), is visible in an aerial photograph (OSAP, 2119-20) taken in 1989. This possible field wall is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
