Hut site in Canalough

On an E-W rough pasture ridge with occasional outcropping rock, beside the seashore on the S side of Blackball Harbour. The poorly preserved remains of a D-shaped hut site (4.1m N-S) defined by intermittent stretches of a curving bank (Wth 0.9m; H 0.15m) with a straight N side (L 4.3m). Some stones protrude occasionally above the surface of the bank. There is a hut site (CO127-050001-) c. 40m to the W and another hut site (CO127-050003-) is 5m to the E.
