What is recorded here

A 4.5m long, curving souterrain passage (KE087-018001-) extends out from the interior of the hut. Its lintels have been robbed. The drystone-built passage is filled with debris and its side-walls survive to a height of .9m. An opening, located outside the hut at E, may indicate an extension of the souterrain in this direction. A subrectangular shallow depression, 3m x 1.3m, is located in the NE sector of the site. Its NW side and a short stretch of the opposite side are stone-lined. A 6.6m long stretch of a stone-faced earthen bank extends radially from the inner face of the enclosing bank at E. 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. 490. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 28 July 2013
