(n) Huts: These 2 structures are located c. 6m apart and are incorporated into the walls of a field on a shoulder of the hillslope on the W side of the valley. The N structure is rectangular in outline and measures 4.4m x 3m internally. The drystone-built walls are c. 1m thick and stand to a maximum height of .45m but are largely collapsed. The interior is divided into 2 parts by a N-S cross-wall. This structure resembles a 2-roomed house and may be a late feature. The 2nd structure is roughly D-shaped in outline and measures 2.2m x 1.7m internally. Only 2 courses of the rough drystone wall survive. This may be a hut of relatively recent origin.
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.
