Hut site in Bunnafedia

In pasture, situated at the E edge of a low rise, overlooking a pool of water to E. Roughly oval-shaped area (9m N-S; 7m E-W) defined by a low rim or bank (Wth. 1.75m - 2.7m; int. H 0.35m at E, 0.6m at W; ext. H 0.2m at E, 0.55m at W) of earth and stone. The interior appears slightly sunken. The somewhat irregular shape of this feature, and the variable width of the enclosing bank, casts some doubt on its interpretation as a hut site. A small quarry pit (diam. c. 12) is located c. 10m to E dug into the base of the rise. There is a rath (SL019-098----) c. 50m to SW. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 12 May 2011
