Hut site in Cloghanelinaghan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

One oval hut measured seven feet by five feet six inches, narrow enough for a single bed and a small fire. It sat beside a ruined fort above Castlequin, watching Coonanna Harbour through gaps in its broken wall. People may have lived there when boats still needed every inch of shelter. The sea kept the place small, honest and unforgettable.

Henry described a 'series of ruins above and below the highest modern fence' on the N side of Castlequin, overlooking Coonanna Harbour. She identified a small, ruinous stone fort which enclosed the remains of a number of hut sites. To E, over the fence, was a ruined oval enclosure (KE069-020001-), possibly a hut site, with internal dimensions of 7 feet (2.1m) x 5 feet 6 inches (1.7m). An entrance occurred in the wall at N. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 721. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
