What is recorded here
No visible trace survives of the sheepfold marked on the second edition of the OS map. It was located on a low rise in rough grazing land, a short distance E of the Blackwater river.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1437. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
