Hut site in Bailín

Hut site

What is recorded here

One large boulder still holds the west wall of the oval hut, while flat stones as wide as a man’s outstretched arms lie scattered across the stoney patch. The opening may face northeast toward Ballinskellig Bay, giving the small shelter a clear view across the water. Above and below the hut, old walls appear on ledges along the north face of Beenarourke mountain, as if the slope once belonged to several hidden rooms.
