What is recorded here

In rough wet pasture, on a fairly steep SSE facing slope overlooking the Blasket Sound. A roughly circular hut foundation, the wall now surviving as a peat-covered stony bank. D: 7.4m. H: 1m. In the interior is a roughly rectangular setting of stones on edge, function not known, and directly outside the entrance gap at SE is a raised area, 5 x 3.8m x 1m in height, crowned by a low upright slab. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1276. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013
