What is recorded here
Dense vegetation smothers a seven-metre raised hut inside a Kerry rath, hiding a small life beneath leaves and shadow. Stones still scatter around its base like abandoned markers, waiting for someone to notice the shape they form. The greenery does not erase the place; it protects the smallness of the story within.
In the centre of a rath (KE067-005----). The remains of this possible hut site are defined by an irregular-shaped, raised area (7m N-S; 6m E-W; H 0.5m) which is obscured by dense overgrowth. Stones are strewn around the hut externally.
