Hut site in Cill Mhuirbhigh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Cill Mhuirbhigh holds a rectangular drystone hut, larger than 2.7m long and 2.6m wide, whose broken west wall still exposes lower roof corbels. People used it while straddling horses to fetch seaweed, turning a narrow stone box into a busy place for balance, breath and shared labour. The surviving corbels suggest a roof once closed the space against wind and rain, while the missing wall reminds us that use, not perfection, gave the hut its life.

Some 390m E of GA110-052----. A rectangular drystone structure (L > 2.7m, Wth 2.6m). The W wall is destroyed but the lower course of roof corbels survive. Used when 'straddling' horses for fetching seaweed (Robinson 1980). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.
