What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Baurearagh River. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.6m E-W) defined by a collapsed, curving drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.2-0.7m) with a straight E side (L 1.7m N-S) formed by the vertical face of a large boulder. Fallen stones are scattered along the internal and external perimeter of the hut site, especially S-SW where the wall is totally collapsed.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
