About 100m W of KE078-019----. A circular hut foundation built on a level terrace which is .5m high and is revetted with large slabs on its S side. Upright slabs define the hut circle. D: 6.85m x 6.3m. A drystone-built souterrain opens just off the S side of the hut at the base of the terrace. The opening, too small to allow access, is .5m wide x .35m high and leads into a passage which extends to NE. The coursed side-walls corbel inwards towards the roofing lintels. This is perhaps the site of the 'fort' referred to by Westropp, situated on the 'flank of Cool Hill' (1912, 298).
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. 1205. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
