What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on an E-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Feabunaun stream. A rectangular area (5.6m NE-SW; 5m NW-SE) defined on the SW, NW and NE sides by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 0.9m; H 1.4m) and on the SE side by a drystone wall which is shared with an adjoining hut site (KE102-026----). The earthen bank is faced internally with a drystone wall. The entrance (Wth 1.2m) is at the N corner. There is a lintelled rectangular opening (Wth 1m; H 0.65m) in the base of the NW wall. 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
