What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on the NW-facing rocky slopes of Deelis Mountain. The remains of a roughly rectangular hut site (2.55m NW-SE; 1.6m NE-SW) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.2m) at SW, NW and SE, and by the sloping face of outcropping rock at NE. A boulder is incorporated into the wall at SE. A break at NW may indicate an entrance. There is another hut site (KE102-037----) c. 8m to the W and two other hut sites (KE102-037002, KE012-037003-) are c. 50m to the NW.
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.
