The National Monuments Service's description
In a farmyard in Clogher village. A complete circular hut of corbelled construction, with a lintelled doorway, a small wall-cupboard and a window. Mortar was used in its construction and it is probably of relatively modern date. D: 3m. H: 3.1m. A 2nd corbelled hut KE042-079001- was apparently formerly present a little to S in the same village (local information).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1184. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
