Recorded monuments

• KE102-034 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, in the valley of the River Sheen. A circular area (24.6m E-W; 23.6m N-S) defined by a poorly preserved wall, consisting of an inner and outer row of upright contiguous stones (T 1.8m; H 0.7m) with earth and stone infill. The wall is best preserved NE-E and W-NW. The enclosing element S-WSW is obscured by bushes. The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 0.6m) and the NW portion is cut (H 1m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. A road boundary wall skirts the wall externally at NW. A N-S field wall crosses the W half of the interior. 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

• KE102-035 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, in the valley of the Baurearagh River. A D-shaped area (15.5m NE-SW) defined by the ruins of a curving drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.3m) with a straight NE side (L 20.5m) which is formed by a linear drystone wall of a recent field boundary. The curving wall is set on the lip of a scarp (H 1.6m), which is faced with a partially collapsed drystone wall. This is possibly part of a circular enclosure that may have extended beyond the linear field boundary to the NE. 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
