## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- KE091-031: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKE091-031----. These two enclosures, marked as two small circular outlines on the second edition of the OS map, were located in rough boggy pasture on the W side of the Blackwater river valley. The site is now occupied by a plantation of trees and the enclosures can no longer be identified. Their small size suggests that they were fionnán enclosures (KE091-031001-). 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. 818. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
