What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, in a hollow near the N edge of a col, on a ridge to the E of Derrynacaheragh Hill and within a network of pre-bog field boundaries (KE102-063001-). The remains of a D-shaped hut site (3.2m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.7m) with a straight N side (L 7m E-W). The wall protrudes above the surface of the bog and is best preserved E-W. There is an entrance break (Wth 0.9m) at NE. Another hut site (KE102-063005-) is c. 5m 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.
