This is the enclosure at Cummeenduvasig, a small and largely overlooked feature of the Kerry uplands that rewards attention precisely because of its oddities. Drystone enclosures of this kind are broadly understood as early agricultural or settlement features, their walls built without mortar from whatever stone the landscape offered, but this one has a geometry that sets it apart from the typical round.

The people who built it had to contend with the hillslope in a practical and quite deliberate way. The northern portion of the interior was cut back into the rising ground, while the southern portion was left raised, an attempt to level things out. It did not entirely work; a slope of around three metres still runs down from the north wall toward the south-east before the ground levels off. That kind of pragmatic earthworking, modest in ambition but clear in intention, tells something about whoever used this space, even if their identity and the date of construction remain unrecorded. Within the southern half of the interior, a rectangular and a circular arrangement of stones have been noted, though these are considered to be of recent origin rather than ancient features. To the east, a roughly rectangular area of about six by seven metres, only loosely defined by stones, abuts the outer edge of the enclosure wall, and from its south-east corner a wall runs off to connect with a wider network of field boundaries in the surrounding landscape. Whether the enclosure and that field system were ever contemporary with one another, or whether the boundaries accumulated around it over many generations, is not something the physical remains alone can answer.
