Hut site

What is recorded here

In open mountain terrain on the S slopes of Mount Eagle. A circular drystone hut foundation with a sheep-shelter built in the interior. D: 4m. H: 1m. About 20m to S are the very poorly-preserved remains of a 2nd hut described by Macalister (1899, 243) as 3 to 4.5m in diameter with a small subsidiary chamber in the interior. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1248. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
