What is recorded here

No one knows when the last roof fell or whose hands stacked the stones, but the hut still points west like a chair pulled from a table. It sits inside a rath in Rahanane, County Kerry, beside another hut whose bank forms part of its own wall. The two shapes suggest a small crowded life rather than a lonely one, with people moving between huts instead of standing alone against the sky.

Within a rath (KE059-008----). The remains of a collapsed hut defined by an arc (C c. 8m NW-SE) of a stone-faced, earthen bank (Wth 0.8m; H 0.45m) N-E and defined E-S by the external face of the bank of an adjoining hut site (KE059-008002-) to the SE. The hut is open to the W. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
