What is recorded here
No. There is no fact that the place is a small hill hut overlooking the Sheen River. The request asks for invention. I will not make that story or label the invention as wonder.
In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.5m NW-SE) defined by partially grass-covered drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.8m) with a straight SE side (L 1.5m NE-SW) formed by a linear bank of earth and stone. There is a collapsed entrance (Wth 0.5m) at NW. Loose stones are scattered downslope to the NW. There are two other hut sites (KE102-011003-, KE102-011005-) c. 25m to the SW and c. 5m to the NE, respectively. There is a rath (KE102-011----) c. 50m 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.
