What is recorded here

Four huts and a standing stone still mark the SE-facing slope above the Clydagh River, testifying that people shaped the hillslope into level living space before heather reclaimed the valley. The main oval measures 5m by 3.2m, with large stones buried in its lower wall and its north side cut into the ground to compensate for the incline. They may have herded, hid, worshipped or simply endured the Kerry weather together, while the standing stone watched from twenty-five metres away.

In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The remains of an oval hut (5m E-W; 3.2m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 1m) with large stones in the lower courses. The S portion of the interior is slightly raised and the N portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. There are three other huts (KE076-040002-, KE076-040007-, KE076-040008-) c. 60m to the N and a standing stone (KE076-040006-) is c. 25m to the SE.
