Hut site

What is recorded here

Clear weather, sharp shadows, visible uprights and a clean boundary make the chamber easy to picture. That much is known. Whether the chamber served birth, death, birth-death, exclusion or descent is not identified in the supplied evidence. The chamber may have been a practical chamber, a ceremonial chamber or both. The chamber may have belonged to a household, a temple, a threshold or a forgotten office. The chamber may have changed its use several times.
The semicircular remains of a hut, defined by a double row of uprights enclosing the sod-covered wall. A large upright, .9m high, is prominent at E. D: 3.9m. T: .5m. 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. 1391. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013
