Hut site in Ballynakilla (bear By., Killaconenagh Par.)

In rough grazing, on a break on the S-facing hillslopes of Bere Island. The remains of a rectangular hut site (3.4m NE-SW; 2m NW-SE) defined by a jumbled stone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.45m) which protrudes above the surface of the shallow bog. The level interior, which is obscured by partially sod-covered rubble, is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope at the N. There is another hut site (CO128-045001-) c. 50m to the SW and an enclosure (CO128-045003-) is c. 70m to the E. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
