Sheepfolds

In rough hill pasture, at the foot of a ridge, broken by outcropping rock. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4m NE-SW; 2.1m NW-SE) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.9m) which is partly covered in moss and grass. The entrance (Wth 0.5m) is at NE. The remains of an internal dividing wall is visible in the W half of the hut site. The remains of cultivation ridges (Wth 2.2-2.6m) were noted in the field immediately to the N. 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
