The National Monuments Service's description
These monuments are not mentioned in the 'Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey' (Cuppage 1986, 324) entry (no. 858). The source of the information on these huts is uncertain but may be from a reference by Henry Stokes (PRIA vol. 15, p. 23) who describes a 'very old church…and round crypts or cells built of stone'. Stokes continues: 'the sand will soon smother them all… I have not seen them for twenty years' (ibid.).
