Hut site in Tobar Na Múdán

Hut site

What is recorded here

Trouble is likely why the work stopped. Tobar Na Múdán preserves two small hut footprints inside a circular rath on a north-facing slope above Trabeg. The larger chamber measured at least 4.2m across and kept an 85cm wall beside the rampart. People may have watched the water, waited for weather or avoided a harder road, but the stones no longer claim more than that.
Circular univallate rath KE053-049---- contains the remains of 2 hut sites, lies on a N facing slope overlooking Trabeg. (1) (KE053-049001-) This hut abuts the bank at N and only the N half of its outline is now discernible. It was at least 4.2m in diameter internally and its wall stands to a maximum height of .85m. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 531. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
