What is recorded here
In pasture, on the W bank of a stream, on a S-facing slope overlooking the head of Kenmare bay. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2m E-W) defined by a collapsed, moss-covered, drystone wall N-S and by a straight W side (L 1.6m) formed by a field wall (H 1.2m). The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.8m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The entrance is at SE.
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.
