Hut site in Glantrasna

In rough hill pasture, in a hollow on the crest of a ridge, to the N of a tributary of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 4.1m) defined by a roughly built, drystone wall (T c. 0.55m; H 0.4m) which survives best NW-SW. The wall SW-NW is defined by the tops of stones, which protrude through the bog. Many lower course stones protrude above the bog and are grass covered. There is a hut site (KE109-074001-) immediately to the N and an enclosure (KE109-074003-) is 25m to the S. 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
