What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope with outcropping rock, overlooking Kenmare Bay. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.75m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.2m) which abuts a boulder at W. The SE portion of the interior is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope and the NW portion is raised (H 0.4m) to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is covered in rubble. Relict field walls (KE109-001029-) are in the immediate vicinity.
