Hut site in Annaglogh

Hut site

What is recorded here

Inside the ancient rath at Annaglogh, a small circular hut platform survives with a narrow southwest entrance. The compact shape suggests a private shelter or storage space hidden within a larger defensive earthwork. A person may have moved through that tiny opening to tend flames, preserve food or simply escape the storm. The drumlin crest still holds the footprint of that quiet domestic life.
Located at the crest of the W-facing slope and towards the S end of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. At the centre of rath (MO015-001001-) are the foundations of a subcircular hut-site (dims 4.4m NE-SW; 4.1m NW-SE) defined by a low bank (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.3-0.5m) with an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at SW.
