What is recorded here

'This is the remains of a collapsed circular drystone hut, formed of large limestone flags, now collapsed inwards, suggesting that it was originally corbelled. It is located approximately 20m to the west of KE034-160---- on the eastern side of a steep north-south running gully. It measures 5m in maximum diameter, the 1m thick walls being 1m in maximum height. A possible 0.8m wide entrance opens to the east.' The above description was published in F. Coyne, 'Islands in the clouds: an upland archaeological study on Mount Brandon and the Paps, Co. Kerry.' (Kerry Co. Council in association with Aegis Archaeology, 2006).
