Hut site in Kilteenbane

Hut site

What is recorded here

Kilteenbane holds a hidden chamber beneath a dense green blanket, waiting for someone brave enough to push through the vines. Three hut shadows still mark the earth beside the Finglas river, suggesting a small community once lived between the mountain and the water. The chamber may have served as a cellar, refuge or ceremonial space, but the overgrowth has erased its exact purpose.
Densely overgrown rath KE037-043---- containing a now inaccessible Man-made underground passage and traces of 3 hut sites. It is located at the E edge of the fairly level tract of land that lies between the foot of Corrin mountain to W and the Finglas river to E. (3) (KE037-043004-) A 3rd probable clochaun was recorded in the N sector of the interior but the vegetation in this area is impenetrable. Only a 1 to 1.5m long stretch of the E part of the outer wall-face is visible. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 480. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
