New site identified by Byrne, Mullins and Associates during the preliminary phases of the project prior to wind farm development in Grousemount, Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry by ESB Wind Development Ltd. This feature is situated in a pasture filed in the eastern side of the River Roughty and on relatively flat lands at the base of a west-facing slope. It was noted during field work undertaken in 2010. The feature is barely discernible on the ground surface. It comprises a central raised circular area (diam. c. 3m; H: 0.1m) surrounded by a possible fosse (W: c. 1.2m; D: 0.1 – 0.15m) outside of which in turn is surrounded by a slightly raised area (remains of bank) which is c. 1m wide and 0.1m high. The morphology of the feature is reminiscent of a hut site.
