What is recorded here
Rahanane holds a collapsed circular hut inside a rath, its low earthen bank still marked by stone-facing along the northeast arc. The southwest gap suggests an entrance, while another hut presses against the northwest edge, creating a small clustered settlement rather than a lonely shelter. People may have lived there beside one another, sharing firelight, work and season in County Kerry.
Within a rath (KE059-008----). The remains of a collapsed, roughly circular hut (diam. c. 11m NE-SW; c. 10m NW-SE) defined by a low earthen bank which is best preserved along the NE arc where it is stone-faced. The hut is open to the SW where an entrance may have been located. Another hut site (KE059-008001-) adjoins this hut along the NW arc externally.
