What is recorded here
On poorly drained, rough pasture on the N bank of a tributary of the Ballinskelligs river. A roughly circular setting of upright slabs which measures 3.75m x 3.25m internally. The slabs range in height from .35m to 1.2m and in width from .45m to 1.1m. The majority are positioned end-to-end with some examples overlapping. The two tallest slabs, located at NE, may represent the entrance. Some upright slabs occur externally to NE and SW. Both Lynch and Henry refer to the hut as Clochán Liath (1902b, 340; 1957, 109).
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. 1120. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
