Hut site

What is recorded here

Bonane Heritage Park preserves a small rectangular hut on a SW-facing slope above the Sheen River. Its collapsed drystone wall rises about a metre before ferns and trees swallow the room again. A rath sits immediately to the east and a standing stone waits seventy metres to the north-east, suggesting the hut belonged to a busy local landscape rather than a forgotten oddity.
In Bonane Heritage Park, on a SW-facing slope, in the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.9m N-S; 2.7m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 1m) which is obscured by ferns and trees. There is a rath (KE102-031----) immediately to the E and a standing stone (KE102-031002-) c. 70m to the NNE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
