What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a NE-SW terrace on a NW-facing hillslope overlooking Bantry Bay. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (4.6m NW-SE) defined by a partially collapsed, curving, stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.75m) with a straight SE side (L 4m) consisting of the face of an outcropping rock. Rubble is scattered along the perimeter and ferns and heather obscure the entire hut site. Another hut site (CO130-054001-) is c. 40m to the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
