What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slopes of Barrerneen and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE103-017003-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 5m) defined by a drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m). The wall NW-NE has collapsed into the interior and the wall SE-SW has collapsed downslope to the S. The interior is raised (H 0.8m) at S and cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope at N to compensate for the hillslope. Two other hut sites (KE103-017007-, KE103-017008-) are c. 70m to the SW. 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
