What is recorded here

Inchanadreen holds a D-shaped enclosure clinging to a north-facing bedrock ridge, its low rubble walls barely rising sixty centimetres above the ground. The hidden valley drops away to the south and east, exposing the interior to wide skies while a modest northern ridge shields the entrance from casual discovery. A smaller hut site sleeps in vegetation four metres west, waiting for someone patient enough to brush back the growth and reveal whether two people or one lived there. The shape suggests deliberate construction rather than natural collapse, yet its small size and concealed position resist grand claims.
A D-shaped enclosure built against a north facing ridge of exposed bedrock with extensive views to south and east. It measured 16m north-south, 14m east-west, rubble walls max. height of 0.6m. A small hut site was partially visible c. 4m to the west which was too overgrown to survey. A low ridge to the north made these two sites well hidden from view.
