(m) Possible sheep-shelter: This small horseshoe-shaped hut foundation, open to E, is incorporated into the W wall of a large disused field on the lowlying level ground on the W side of the river. It measures 1.8m x 1.7m internally and the roughly-constructed drystone walls stand to a maximum height of 1m and are c. 1m wide. This structure appears to be a sheep-shelter of relatively recent origin, but its incorporation into one of the field walls does not necessarily imply a late date for this latter.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
