Hut site in Derrygarriv (glanarought By.)

In rough heather-clad pasture, in a sheltered hollow, on the N-facing slopes of Knockeirka. The remains of an oval hut site (4.4m E-W; 2.7m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 1m). A break at SW may indicate an entrance. The S portion of the interior is slightly elevated to compensate for the hillslope. There is another hut site (KE102-006003-) c. 15m to the W. 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
