What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a break at the foot of a N-facing slope, close to the S bank of the Glanrastel River. The remains of an oval hut site (4.4m N-S; 3m E-W) defined by a sod-covered stone wall (T c. 0.5m; H 0.2m). The hut site cuts (D 0.2m) into the upslope at S and is built up (H 0.4m) externally at N, creating a level interior. Some basal stones protrude along the external face of the wall W-E. There is another hut site (KE109-051002-) 20m to the N. 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
