What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on a bog on the lower N-facing slopes of Beenduff. This trackway (Wth c. 2.5m) is defined by two parallel rows of contiguously set stones (T 0.45m; H 0.5m) protruding above the surface of the bog. It extends (L c. 120m) in a general WSW direction from a N-flowing river. Several gaps are visible in the defining stones towards the W end. Intermittent traces of the trackway are evident for c. 200m to the E of another river to the E. There are four hut sites (KE080-053----, KE080-053003-, KE080-053004-, KE080-053005-) and an enclosure (KE080-053002-) c. 50m to the S. (For descriptive account see O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 394-5, no. 1178).
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.
