Hut site in Ballynacarriga (bear By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Ballynacarriga holds a shallow trapezoidal rise just eight metres wide, marked by two stones and overlooked by the western sea. A boulder burial rests thirty-four metres north, suggesting the hut served lives already touched by death. The flat pasture offers no grand monument, only a small footprint where someone may have watched weather roll in above the water.
