Hut site in Lyremountain

Situated in pasture in the deep valley of the E-W Glenastuckaun stream, in a natural hollow on the N bank. A hut-site consisting of two conjoined circular chambers is defined by stone spreads (Wth 0.7-1m; H 0.2-0.5m). The NW chamber (int. dims. 3.7m NW-SE; 2.65m) is oval, and the SE chamber is circular (int. diam. 1.8-2.2m), but an entrance cannot be recognised. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 November 2010
