Hut site

What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, to the S of a tributary of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2m) defined by the lower courses of a roughly built, drystone wall (T c. 0.5m; H 0.6m) with boulders forming part of the wall along the S and E arcs. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is strewn in the interior and along the downslope to the NW. Two other hut sites (KE109-077002-, KE109-077003-) are c. 25m to the W and c. 30m 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
