What is recorded here
Located on the lower N slopes of Knockroe, S of Glasheencorgoad stream. A ruined, sod-covered, drystone hut (KE065-095----) of subcircular plan with a possible entrance in the disturbed SE sector. D: 5.5m. H: .7m. T: 2.4m.
An opening to a drystone-built Man-made underground passage is located within the hut's interior; flooding prevented access. A number of displaced roofing lintels are scattered on the ground surface. This may be 'Lios Cúláin', as noted by Ó Cíobháin (1978, 99).
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. 1207. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
