Hut site in Ballynacallagh

In pasture, beside the rocky seashore on the SE-facing slopes of a small island, Ilanebeg, overlooking Dursey Sound. The sod-covered remains of a D-shaped hut site (4.3m NW-SE) defined by a curving earthen bank (Wth 0.8m; H 0.2m) with a straight NW side (L 3.55m). A sheep path cuts through the bank along the SSE arc. Another hut site (CO126-030003-) is c. 28m to the NE.
