Enclosure in Baile Na Bhfionnúrach

Within an old field system, on crest of a ridge which extends SW from Brandon mountain. A group of 4 roughly-constructed sheep-pens and shelters, and 2 circular corbelled drystone huts (KE034-074001- and KE034-074004-). Hut 1 (KE034-074001-): Easternmost hut has a small rectangular enclosure (KE034-074002-), 2.5 x 1.8m, abutting its SE side, and 1 small wall niche in the interior. D: 2.25m. H: 2m. T: 2.85m. Hut 2 (KE034-174004-): Lintelled entrance at WSW opens into a rectangular yard, 9.1 x 5.5m, which is probably secondary. Ruins of 2 other possible structures (KE034-074003- and KE034-074005-) abut its NW side. 6 small wall niches in interior. Opposite entrance is a chamber, c. 2m long, partly contained within the thickness of hut wall, and partly underlying ground outside. D: 4.5m. H: 1.7m. The above description is derived from J.
