Hut site in Gortacreenteen

In rough hill pasture, on a NE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Slaheny River. The remains of a circular hut site (4.4m E-W; 4.2m N-S) defined by a partially grass-covered drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m). The NE portion of the interior is raised slightly and the SW portion is cut slightly into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. There is an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at E. There is another hut site (KE103-032003-) c. 6m to the NW and two others (KE103-032001-, KE103-032002-) are c. 65m to the NE. 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
