What is recorded here

On scree-strewn, rough mountain pasture at the head of the Coomnahorna river valley, overlooking Darrynane Bay to SW. A rectangular hut of rough construction with an internal facing of upright slabs. D: 2.4m x 2m. T: .7m. Adjacent at SW, a second rectangular hut which incorporates a large natural outcrop at its W side. D: 3.5m x 2m. Extending E and S from the huts, within an area about 300m square, are numerous old field walls most of which are collapsed. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1220. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
