What is recorded here

Half-buried in the slope above Lough Reagh, the small oval hut still holds its shape. Its wall leans out like a breath caught mid-sentence, and the cut floor shows that someone shaped the hill rather than waiting for it to suit them. A standing stone watches from nearby, while the second hut sits farther along the ridge, as if the valley once belonged to a handful of people who knew exactly where the light would fall.

In rough hill pasture, on a SE-facing rocky slope overlooking Lough Reagh. The remains of an oval hut site (3.7m N-S; 2.2m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.6m). The entrance (Wth 0.55m) is at E. The interior is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope at N and raised (H 0.25m) at SE to compensate for the hillslope. Rubble is scattered in the interior and downslope to the SE. There is a standing stone (KE073-053001-) c. 2m to the NE and another hut site (KE073-053003-) lies c. 36m to the WNW. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
