What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a terrace of the SE-facing slopes of Knockastumpa. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.1m NE-SW; 1.9m NW-SE) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.5m; H 0.3-0.7m) which protrude above the blanket bog. An upright slab (H 0.7m) forms the external face of the SW end of the NW wall. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered along the perimeter.
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.
