Hut site

What is recorded here

Two conjoined huts, each about 3.5 metres across, still show faint entrance gaps on their east sides though no passage connected them inside. They sit among four raths on the east edge of Corrin Hill, not far from a tributary of the Finglas river. The thin banks and separate doorways suggest neighbours who shared a ridge but kept their own fires, meals and sleep.
KE036-077---- is one of a group of 4 univallate raths located in close proximity to one another on the E side of Corrin Hill (1096 feet/334m), c. 300 to 400m W of a small tributary of the Finglas river. T The outline of a pair of conjoined huts is discernible in the SW sector. Both are about 3.5m in internal diameter and the enclosing banks are nowhere more than .6m high. There are entrance gaps at the E side of each but there does not appear to have been any internal communication between the two. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 366. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
