What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, in a hollow, on a W-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 1.4m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 1m). A small boulder forms part of the wall at N. The W portion of the interior is raised (H 0.7m) and the E portion is cut (D 1m) into the hillside to compensate for the hillslope. There are two hut sites (KE085-039005-, KE085-039003-) situated c. 8m to the E and c. 60m to the W, respectively. 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
