In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slope of Coombane Hill and within a field system (KE084-022----). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.2m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m) of large stones and slabs set at right angles to the circumference. The wall survives best NW-S and decreases in height (H 0.1m) S-NW. The S portion of the interior is raised and the N portion cuts into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. A relict wall of the field system skirts the SE arc.
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.
