What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on a NE-SW terrace on a NW-facing hillslope overlooking Bantry Bay. The remains of a circular hut site (4.7m N-S; 4.5m E-W) defined by a stone wall (T 0.4m; H 0.3m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The level interior, which is covered with moor grass, is raised (H 0.4m) at the N to compensate for the hillslope. Rubble is exposed externally along the N arc. Another hut site (CO130-053002-) is c. 25m to the SW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
