What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a SW-facing rocky slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.75m SE-NW) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.8m) with a straight NW side (L 3.1m NE-SW) defined by the linear face of outcropping rock. There is an entrance (Wth 0.4m) at SE. The interior is obscured by gorse and rubble.
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.
