Sheepfold

In rough pasture, in cutaway bog, on a SW-facing slope to the N of Kilmakilloge Harbour. The remains of a rectangular hut site (2.4m NE-SW; 1.6m NW-SE) defined by the well-built, lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.7m at SE). Rubble from the collapsed upper courses obscures the interior and is scattered along the perimeter. There is an entrance (Wth 0.55m) in the NE wall. The hut site abuts outcropping rock at NE. 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
