What is recorded here

Towards the centre of the site are the remains of a subcircular hut of drystone construction. It measures 5.7m N-S x 5m E-W internally, and its wall survives to a maximum height of 1.2m at W. It averages 1.6m wide, and a 1.1m wide gap at E may represent the entrance. A portion of the floor-level of the hut has collapsed into a section of a souterrain passage below. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 477. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
