What is recorded here

Within a field system (KE070-119----). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 3.8m) defined by large foundation stones (dim. c. 1m) and overlain by a well-constructed, corbelled animal shelter (2.2m E-W). There is a possible entrance along the ENE arc of the hut site. The animal shelter is D-shaped in plan and is defined by drystone rubble walls (T 0.6m; H 1.7m). The entrance to the shelter comprises a flat-lintelled doorway (Wth 0.5m; H 0.64m) in its straight E wall (L 2.2m). A slab now blocks this doorway. (Harte 2002, 148, no. D601, (2)) 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
