A level semicircular area, distinguishable mainly by a patch of darker foliage, may be all that survives of a small enclosure, and even that is not visible at ground level. What makes this patch of hillside worth a second thought is the gap between what it appears to be and what it might once have been.

The nineteenth-century Ordnance Survey maps, both the 1846 and 1895 editions at the six-inch scale, mark the spot plainly enough and label it a sheepfold, describing a modest rectangular structure of roughly six metres on its longer axis and three metres across. That functional label has a way of closing down curiosity, but the classification of the site as a possible archaeological enclosure suggests the question has not been entirely settled. Enclosures of this kind in Kerry can have origins reaching back centuries, sometimes serving as animal pens, sometimes as something older and harder to categorise. This one sits tucked between a north-south track and the inside curve of a river loop, a sheltered and deliberate position whatever its original purpose.
