What is recorded here

In rough pasture on a N facing slope, overlooking Portmagee Channel. A roughly rectangular drystone hut with a sod-covered external wall-face. Two prostrate slabs define a .6m wide entrance. Two adjacent, lintelled wall chambers are located in the interior at W. They average 2.5m long, .5m high and .75m wide. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1185. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 31 July 2013
