Hut site in Gortacreenteen

In rough hill pasture, on a NE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Slaheny River. The remains of a circular hut site (2.9m E-W; 2.6m N-S) defined by a collapsed, partially grass-covered, drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m). Large stones were noted in the lower courses of the wall. There is an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at NE. Another hut site (KE103-032002-) is c. 5m to the NE and two other hut sites (KE103-032003-, KE103-032004-) are c. 65m to the SW. 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
