Hut site in Dunkerron

The interior of the site is very disturbed and is occupied by scrub and recently planted trees. A pair of possibly conjoined huts are located close to the trackway, on its E side. The hut at N (KE092-035004-) measures 5.3m in internal diameter and its interior is filled with sod-covered rubble. Its poorly defined walls preserve some external drystone facing at SW and measure up to 2.7m wide. Recent disturbance is evident at SE. Extending from the SE side of the hut, and abutting the adjoining hut on its E side, is a band of stone collapse and rubble, 7.7m long and 4.5m wide. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 583.
