Hut site in Cummeenboy

In rough hill pasture, on a W-facing slope, overlooking the valley of Cummeenboy stream. The remains of a subcircular hut site (3.6m E-W; 2.8m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.6m). The wall is best preserved NE-S but less so S-W where only a few stones are visible. Some of these stones are grassed over. The S portion of the hut site is sheltered by a rock escarpment. 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
