What is recorded here

On a SE slope between Beenduff and Bawnduff mountains, on the E bank of Kealmore stream. A well-preserved D-shaped hut of corbelled drystone construction. The lintelled entrance with slightly inclining jambs is located in the straight SE side. It measures 1.4m high and .72m wide at base. A lintelled window at SW is .5m wide and .34m high, and a wall-niche occurs in the inner wall-face at NE. 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. 1354. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 1 August 2013
