What is recorded here

On the shadowed northern face of Tooreennamna Mountain, a circular hut still holds its shape inside rough hill pasture. Its drystone wall has collapsed under gorse and peat, yet the base stones protrude like teeth through the soil. The interior was raised at one edge and cut at the other, shaping a level room on an uneven slope. Someone lived there small and steady, perhaps watching weather come off the mountain before leaving the place to rain and time.

In rough hill pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 5.4m N-S) defined by an arc of a partially gorse-covered, collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.4m) NW-SW with no visible trace of the wall SW-NW. The base stones of the wall protrude from the peaty soil. The level interior is raised (H 0.3m) at the N and cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at the S to compensate for the hillslope. There are traces of relict walls from the network of field boundaries (CO102-041015-) in the surrounding area. A cairn (CO102-041011-) is c. 80m to the NW.
