Hut site in Alohart

In rough upland pasture, on a terrace on the N-facing slopes of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2m) defined by a partially grass-covered, collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.3m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses of the wall is randomly scattered around the hut site. Another hut site (KE073-005----) is c. 8m 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
