Enclosure, Curraheen, Co. Kerry

There is something quietly compelling about a place recorded on historical maps and heritage registers that turns out, on close inspection, to contain nothing at all.

The site at Curraheen in County Kerry is listed as an enclosure, the kind of designation that usually points to a ringfort or similar enclosed settlement from the early medieval period, a roughly circular boundary of earthen banks or stone walls built to protect a farmstead and its inhabitants. Here, though, the ground tells a different story.
