What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing rocky slope, overlooking a river valley. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.7m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed, roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 1m) and by a straight E side (L 2.1m N-S), formed by a large boulder. A smaller boulder is incorporated into the wall at NW and forms the N side of an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at W. The E end of a relict field boundary (KE103-038006-) terminates at this hut site. 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
