Sheepfold

In rough hill pasture, on a terrace of the S-facing slope of Tooth Mountain and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE111-001----). A circular area (16.55m E-W; 16m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a drystone wall (T c. 2.1m; H 0.2-0.6m). Uncoursed rubble facing is visible only in a few areas along the walls, internally and externally. The walls are in a collapsed state with rubble lying along the perimeter. A modern drystone wall (T c. 0.55m; H c. 1.2m) stands on the inner lip of the enclosing wall. Ferns obscure the interior. There is a hut site (KE111-001003-) in the W sector. A further series of relict field boundaries (KE111-001001-) lies to the E. 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
