What is recorded here
Inis Mór is an island and the uplands belong to it. The hut site is on those uplands. The arc of walling is seven metres long and rises above a large irregular cairn of field clearance stones. A hut may have stood there before the stones were moved to clear a field. The distinction still matters because a dwelling wall and a field boundary can look alike once both are buried.
On uplands towards SW coast of Inis Mór. All that survives is an arc of walling (L 7m) projecting above a large irregular cairn of field clearance stones. Possibly the remains of a hut. (Robinson 1980)
