Hut site in Ardfert Oughter — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mortons and C. Toal recorded the circular univallate ringfort, two stone house sites and matching depressions in the same Kerry field. The measurements leave little room for argument about what was built or where. Whether people lived there, worked there or simply passed through remains unknown.

Situated SW of KE020-064---- in the same field, two fieldbanks touch KE020-063---- on the E and W side. This circular univallate ringfort is enclosed by a well-defined earth and stone bank. In the N sector of the interior is an oval shaped house site (KE020-063001-) constructed of stone; it is 4.8m N-S and 4.2m E-W, with walls .6m-1m thick. About 2m to the W of this lies a sub-oval house site (KE020-063002-) 3.8m N-S and 4m E-W; the walls here are also .6m-1m thick. Situated directly below the two stone structures are two depressions measuring 4m x 4.8m and 4.8m x 4.6m. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 668. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
