The traces are genuinely vague: a possible circular hut foundation, measuring at least four metres across and surviving to a height of just over half a metre. That qualifier, possible, does a lot of work here. This is archaeology at its most tentative, where the difference between a deliberate structure and a natural irregularity in the ground is a matter of careful judgement rather than certainty.

The site was recorded as part of a comprehensive survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, published by J. Cuppage in 1986 under the title 'Corca Dhuibhne: Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey'. That survey catalogued the extraordinary density of early remains across this corner of Kerry, a landscape where prehistoric and early medieval activity left marks that range from elaborate stone forts to the subtlest humps in a field. A circular hut foundation of this kind, a low ring of earth or stone defining a single roofed space, was the basic unit of domestic life across many centuries of Irish prehistory and the early medieval period. At four metres in diameter, this one would have been modest even by the standards of its time. What period it belongs to, if it is indeed a deliberate structure at all, the available evidence does not say.
