What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, to the S of a tributary of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2.4m E-W) defined by a curving drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.8m) and by a straight W side (L 4.8m N-S), formed by outcropping rock at the N end and by a collapsed drystone wall at the S end. A large overhanging slab at S shelters the hut site. The curving drystone wall is partly collapsed and the rubble is scattered along the perimeter. There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) at E. A hut site (KE109-077001-) lies c. 25m to the E and another hut site (KE109-077003-) is c. 20m to the SE. 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
