What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, on the N bank of the Glanrastel River. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.5m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.5m) which consists of large basal stones that protrude above the bog and are partly grass covered. The hut site is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at N and built up (H 0.3m) externally at S. Rubble is scattered downslope to the S. 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
