Hut site in Doire Mhór Thiar — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Doire Mhór Thiar holds a broken rath where a circular hut and underground passage still emerge through eroded earth. The bay has taken much of the bank, yet the small dwelling and hidden passage remain visible on the low ground. Whatever life moved through that place left behind a shape the sea has not fully erased.

Situated on low-lying, level ground on the S side of Tralee Bay, rath KE037-028---- is enclosed by an earthen bank, now much eroded and gapped. In the interior are traces of a circular hut and a Man-made underground passage, and 2 possible hut sites are visible outside the enclosing bank. In the interior, the outline of a probably circular hut KE037-028001-, c. 4m in internal diameter, can be traced a little SW of centre. The NE section of the wall appears to be marked by low heaps of stones and the SW section by an arc of walling, .25m high and .75m wide, with the wall face traceable along the exterior only. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 388. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 6 August 2013
