Hut site

What is recorded here

Within a field system (KE103-020001-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 4m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The wall is best preserved W-E. The S portion of the interior is raised slightly and the N portion is cut slightly into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. Two other hut sites (KE103-020005-, KE103-020003-) are c. 8m to the E and c. 10m to the SW, 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
