Hut site in Cappagh (glanarought By.)

In rough pasture, on a terrace on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.4m) defined by a drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.2m) which is partly grass covered. There is an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at E. The hut site is cut into the upslope at the NE and slightly built up at S to compensate for the hillslope. Two other hut sites (KE093-057----, KE093-057002-) are located c. 115m to the ENE and c. 30m to the N, respectively. 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
