What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on the S bank of the Coomeelan stream. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (3.6m E-W) defined by a curving grass-covered bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.65m) of earth and stone with a straight W side (L 4.2m N-S) formed by the linear face of outcropping rock. There are traces of stone facing along the bank, both internally and externally. Another hut site (KE103-046001-) is c. 25m to the NW. 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
