Hut site in Ballard Commons

In rough hill pasture, on bog, on the SE-facing slopes of Maulin overlooking the valley of the Owgarriff River. The remains of an oval hut site (2.8m N-S; 2m E-W) defined by a jumbled drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.55m) which has collapsed inwards and obscures the interior. Rubble is also scattered around the rush-covered perimeter and downslope to the SE. There is a hut site (CO115-103005-) c. 40m to S and another hut site (CO115-103007-) 5m to the W.
