Hut site

What is recorded here

Within the NE sector of an enclosure (KE101-065002-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2m) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.4m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The E portion of the interior is raised (H 0.1m) and the W portion is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered on the downslope externally. The hut site abuts a relict wall from a network of field boundaries (KE101-065001-) along the W arc. 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
