Hut site in Coomcallee

In rough upland pasture, on the E bank of the Gaddagh River on the N-facing slopes of Macgillycuddy's Reeks. The remains of a rectangular hut site (2.2m E-W; 1.6m N-S) defined by the roughly constructed lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.6m). The level interior is obscured by rubble. An enclosure (KE073-052001-) is c. 25m to the NW and another hut site (KE073-052003-) is c. 15m to the SW. 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
