Located in well-drained, elevated pasture on Valencia Island. This complex comprises the remains of a polygonal hut with an annex, a souterrain and a circular hut. Just SE are the more recent remains of a large rectangular house.
The poorly preserved foundations of a circular hut KE087-009002- are located S of the polygonal example. It survives as a sod-covered mound of stone collapse, measuring 4.7m x 4.3m in overall diameter.
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. 1198. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
