What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, in the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a roughly circular hut site (4.9m N-S; 4m E-W) defined by a grass-covered, drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m). The NW portion of the interior is elevated (H 0.6m) and the SE portion is cut (D 0.1m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The level interior is strewn with stones. 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
