Cashel KE036-096---- contains the remains of 3 stone huts, is located in rough, rocky pastureland a little below the summit of the N peak of the ridge that separates Glanmane from Glannagalt. It commands a magnificent view across Tralee Bay to Kerry Head and Tralee, as well as along the valley of the Glannagalt river. (2) (KE036-096002-) Directly S of the former hut is a 2nd, much ruined example. A roughly circular area, c. 3m in diameter, is enclosed by a band of stone collapse up to . 8m high. The inner wall-face survives to a height of .45m in the E sector and a short stretch of the outer face is visible in the same sector indicating a wall thickness of c. 1.3m. The entrance was probably in the N or S sectors where the collapse is less dense. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 566. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
