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 (3m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m) and by a straight E side (L 2.6m N-S), formed by the vertical face of outcropping rock. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.5m) to compensate for the hillslope. A break at NE may indicate an entrance. 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
