Hut site in Derrylough

In rough heather-clad hill pasture, on a N-facing slope, overlooking Kenmare Bay and Cloonee Lakes. The remains of a rectangular hut site (7m E-W; 3.1m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.55m). The N portion of the interior is raised (H 0.2m) and the S portion is cut (D 0.5m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is a relict field boundary (KE101-112001-) in the immediate vicinity. 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
