What is recorded here

In bog, in a coniferous wood on the N-facing slopes of Been Hill. The southernmost of three hut sites (see KE070-081001-, KE070-081002-) which are situated on a N-S axis. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2m), defined by the moss-covered arc (S-NE) of a collapsed stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.6m), which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The level interior is obscured by wood debris. Trees are growing within and around the hut site. Another hut site (KE070-081002-) is c. 1m to the N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
