Within an extensive old field system, on the N side of an escarpment and E of a modern trackway which runs through Emlagh Bog, Valencia Island. An oval-shaped hut with a poorly defined annex at E, built into the N face of the scarp. D: 3.4m x 2.8m. The annex measures 3.8m x 2.7m in internal dimensions. A number of small subrectangular fields surround the hut and incorporate at least two animal shelters. Mitchell considers this complex to be of Early Medieval date (1989, 66-7).
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. 1202. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
