In E corner of a garden in Ballyoughteragh village. A corbelled hut, circular in plan internally, but D-shaped externally, the lintelled doorway being located in the straight N wall. The walls rise almost vertically to a height of 1.55m internally and 2m externally, but the roof is of corbelled construction, closed by a single slab at a height of 3m above the internal floor level. There are 3 lintelled wall cupboards in the interior, a probable window, now broken away externally, and 2 beam holes of uncertain use. The hut is probably fairly recent in origin. D: 3.5m.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1156. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
