Hut site in Na Cluainte

Hut site

What is recorded here

Na Cluainte holds an ovate enclosure where faint hut marks and graves still trouble the grass. Outside its south-west entrance, a rectangular shadow stretches seven metres seven, its edges reduced to low stony banks and upright stones that may have faced the wind. People likely built there, loved there and disappeared into the story the land keeps repeating.
Ulligadrevil/Ulaidh an Draghbháil: This site consists of an ovate enclosure within which are the possible remains of hut sites and graves. Abutting the exterior of the enclosure bank, directly S of the SW entrance, is what appears to be the remains of a rectangular house KE042-047003- measuring c. 7.7 x 2.2m internally, its walls reduced to low stony banks with some stones set on edge perhaps representing the wall faces. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1552. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
