What is recorded here

In pasture, at the base of a steep W-facing slope overlooking Kenmare Bay. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 3.6m) defined by a grass-covered bank (Wth c. 0.6m; H 1.1m) of earth and stone. The E side of the hut site is cut into the hillslope and a number of upright slabs (H 1.1m) are used to retain the scarp. A sight break at WNW may indicate the entrance location. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
