Hut site in Barrees

In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on a N-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam 3.8m NE-SW; 3.4m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.4m). The level interior, which is occupied by grass-covered stones, is raised (H 0.2m) at the N and cut (D 0.15m) into the upslope at the S to compensate for the hillslope. A break (Wth 0.4m) at the NE may indicate the entrance location. There is an enclosure (CO102-030010-) c. 70m to the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
