What is recorded here

Dún Sheáin holds four possible hut sites, including this western chamber where only an eastern arc survives. The remaining wall forms a low stony bank around a space four metres wide. It is small enough for one household yet large enough for fire, sleep and argument. The missing western wall may have fallen, been removed or never been built. In that absence the hut becomes a doorway rather than a room, inviting imagination into the part the stones no longer remember.

Located to W of another hut site (KE053-077004-) within ringfort (KE053-077----), only the E arc of this structure survives. It is 4m in diameter and the wall is reduced to a low stony bank. One of four possible hut sites within ringfort (see also KE053-077001-, KE053-077003- and KE053-077004-). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 393. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
