What is recorded here
This large, poorly built rectangular structure, locally referred to as ‘The Priest’s House’, is located in the NE quadrant of the enclosure (KE080-046001-). Measuring 10.6m x 5.3m internally, its roughly coursed walls stand up to 1.1m high and average .8m thick. An entrance gap at W .7m wide, is defined by an upright on its N side. There is no trace of the ‘small recess’ noted by the Delaps in one of its corners (1910, 186).
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 959. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
