What is recorded here

Ten metres apart on a Kerry slope, two ancient huts stood shoulder to shoulder, one slightly larger than the other. Modern sheepfolds now crush part of their foundations, blending human histories into a single tangled floor. The larger hut faced west toward the valley, its narrow entrance still visible beneath peat and stone. Whatever life moved through that opening, the valley itself has kept the shape of the doorway.

'At a distance of 27m south of the above hut site (KE038-125----) are two more similar sites with similar views and aspect. Again, in both cases modern sheepfolds have been constructed partly on the earlier foundations. The two hut sites are 10m apart with the more easterly example (KE038-134----) being the smaller at a diameter of 3m, while the larger example (KE038-135----) has a diameter of 3.8m. In both cases only the foundations of the earlier huts are visible, partly covered by peat. The foundations indicate a wall width of 0.6m for the smaller example and 0.66m for the larger hut. A possible entrance to the larger hut faces down slope to the west and is 0.58m in width.' Description from ‘The Prehistoric Settlement of the Lee Valley, Tralee, Co.
