Hut site

What is recorded here

Seven seconds. Half a metre of doorway, a metre of floor, a knife's edge of margin. The chamber is so small it stops being a room and becomes a instrument for listening. What ever it measured, it still measures.
The foundations of a circular hut (KE079-064001-) occupy the interior of the rath. It has an internal diameter of 5m and an opening, .4m wide, at SW. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 510. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
