What is recorded here

A rectangular sheepfold, built on the foundations of a circular hut (KE090-019001-), occupies the N half of the interior of the site. Its traverses the centre of the hut, and its N wall is the rebuilt side of the hut. The S side of the hut survives as a low and indistinct stony bank which gives an internal diameter of 6.9m. 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. 612. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 29 July 2013
