What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on the gentle SE-facing slope of Tooth Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.5m) defined by a drystone wall (T c. 0.75m; H 0.65m at W). Large stones in the lower course of the wall protrude above the blanket bog. Part of the wall along the N arc is grassed over. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered along the perimeter of the hut site. Another hut site (KE111-015002-) adjoins this hut site along the E arc. Two other hut sites (KE111-015----, KE111-015003-) are 5m to the W and 18m to the S, respectively. 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
