What is recorded here

Knockaneyouloo holds a circular drystone hut built into the south slope of Mount Foley, where the north wall still rises 1.8m while the south has vanished into pasture. The site is locally called a fort, and its underground passage was filled in about forty years ago, denying later visitors the chance to walk the dark tunnel its makers shaped. The surviving wall suggests a small, deliberate dwelling rather than a careless heap of stones, perhaps a seasonal shelter for someone herding cattle across the Iveragh peninsula.

A well-built circular hut, built into the gradient of the slope on the S side of Mount Foley, in land devoted to pasture. The drystone wall survives best along the inner wall-face at N, where it measures 1.8m high. Elsewhere it is .3m high, while at S it is no longer extant. D: 4.8m. A Man-made underground passage at this site, which is known locally as a 'fort', was filled in about forty years ago. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1341.
