Hut site in An Baile Dubh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

An Baile Dubh holds a bivallate rath where two huts conjoined inside the defences, one round and one rectangular, joined by a narrow entrance. The earth still marks their floors half a metre below the grass, preserving the shape of rooms that stopped belonging to anyone visible. Whatever life moved through that small doorway did so behind double banks, hidden from the open field and likely from curious neighbours.

Bivallate rath KE035-067---- with traces of 2 hut sites in the interior. In the NW sector of the interior are the very disturbed remains of what appear to be 2 conjoined huts. They are represented by a roughly circular (N hut KE035-067001-) and a rectangular (S hut KE035-067002-) depression, .8m deep. The former measures 4.6m x 3.9m internally and the latter a maximum of 4.6m internally. A possible entrance between the 2 huts measures .9m in width. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 320. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
