What is recorded here
Shronahiree More holds a rectangular hut site on a small hillock above bog at the mouth of the Bridia valley. Two upright slabs still mark its northwest entrance, while rubble fills the space where someone once lived. The rough walls rise only fifty centimetres, yet they preserve the shape of a room small enough for one person to know by heart.

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. 1372. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
