• KE081-027 Enclosure
  Description

  In boggy pasture, at the W end of an E-W ridge, overlooking the valley of the Inny River to the N. A drystone wall (T 0.6m; max. H 0.8m) follows the perimeter of a mound defining a circular area (41m N-S; 37m E-W). The stone wall, which protrudes above the surface of the bog, is composed of smallish blocky stones. There is a hut site (KE081-027001-) in the SW quadrant of the interior. Another hut site (KE081-027004-) abuts the enclosure internally at W. A subrectangular annexe (24m x 16m), defined by a stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.55m), abuts the enclosure at the W. A relict field boundary (KE081-027003-) extends to the SE from the enclosure. A second annexe abutting the enclosure at N and a relict field boundary (KE081-027002-) extending N from the enclosure were noted in the 1990s (SMR file). These are no longer visible at ground level.

• KE081-042 Enclosure
  Description

  This much denuded stone enclosure, marked as a subcircular field on the first edition of the OS map, is located on the crest of a low knoll at the head of the Inny river valley. A lengthy view along the valley is held to W. The ruined enclosing element survives 1.3m high externally at S. The wall is composed of a rubble core faced internally and externally with coursed drystone masonry. Some upright slabs, and slabs set on edge, line the external wall-face. The wall has an average thickness of 1.3m and falls .6m to the interior. The site is riddled with badger burrows, and a lintel-like slab has been exposed in the wall at NW. This may mark the entrance to a souterrain (KE081-042001-). The original entrance to the enclosure appears to be represented by a 1.4m wide gap in the wall at W. A series of E-W cultivation ridges occupy the interior of the site, which measures 11.4m N-S x 14.3m E-W. A number of walls, similar in composition to the site's enclosing element, radiate from its external face and appear to be coeval with it. 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. 763.

• KE081-049 Hut site
  Description

  In rough hill grazing on bog on a W-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Inny River. A circular hut site (7.6m N-S; 7.5m E-W) defined by the remains of a stone wall (T 1m; H 0.5m), protruding above the surface of bog and displaying traces of an inner and outer row of contiguous slabs with an infill of rubble. A turf stand was built on part of the hut site, causing some damage to its walls. Rushes obscure the rubble which is scattered in the interior. Field boundaries (KE081-050----) are c. 35m 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).
