What is recorded here
The site at present consists of the overgrown foundations, 1.3m wide, of a rectangular house (KE106-121001-) which measures 6m x 5.2m internally. The inner facing of the foundations is formed by a row of slabs set on edge, averaging .75m long, while the outer facing, where discernible, appears as roughtly coursed masonry. An entrance, defined by two upright slabs set .8m apart, survives at S. The house is bisected by a field wall and the E half of its interior is filled with stone debris.
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. 637. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
