Hut site

What is recorded here

Within a field system (KE103-020001-). The remains of an oval hut site (6m E-W; 5m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.85m). An upright stone slab (H 0.85m) is incorporated into the E wall. There is a leaning stone slab in the wall at ESE and a prostrate stone slab in the wall at ENE. A break at SE may indicate an entrance. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.4m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.8m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. There are relict field boundaries (KE103-020009-) in the immediate vicinity to the S. An enclosure (KE103-020008-) is c. 8m to the SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
