What is recorded here

The westernmost of three contiguous hut sites (see KE084-024003-, KE084-024004-) in the internal NE corner of an enclosure (KE084-024----). The remains of this subrectangular hut site (8m N-S; 5.2m E-W) are defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 1m). The E wall of this hut site is abutted by the adjoining hut site (KE084-024003-) to the E. The interior slopes down to the S and is overgrown with rushes. There is an enclosure (KE084-024002-) c. 20m 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
