Hut site in Ballynacourty

Hut site

What is recorded here

Death and life both happened there. The chamber held both, and neither could leave until the other stopped resisting. What you discard is not lost. It is waiting for the chamber where it becomes visible.
Sub-circular rath KE044-062---- is located on the E slopes of a low hill (611 feet/186m) that overlooks the Anascaul valley to W. An earth and stone mound, located in the SW part of the interior, contains 2 depressions which may represent hut-sites (KE044-062001- & KE044-062002-). The mound is c. 1.5m high and the depressions measure 6m x 4m x .75m deep and 2m in diameter x .75m deep. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 330. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
