What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on a rocky W-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.8m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.3m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The W portion of the interior is raised (H 0.2m) and the E portion is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is a possible entrance at WNW.
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.
