New site identified by John Cronin & Associates (JCA) under Licence No. 16E0127 prior to wind farm development in Barnastooka, Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry by ESB Wind Development Ltd. The remains of an elongated, oval hut site, long axis aligned NE-SW, with southwest end formed by enclosing wall of NICH36 (ITM grid. co-ord. 505545, 571357). Its northern and southern side walls are only one course of stones high (avg.: 0.4m) but are an average of 0.7m thick, while eastern end is open, making it a probable entrance. The hut has maximum internal dimensions of 3m by 1.6m and maximum external dimensions of 3.8m by 2.4m. It is located on a relatively dry fertile area in the upper northwest portion of the NICH36 settlement enclosure.
