Hut site in Clonascra

Grass covered wall-footings exists forming no distinct shape, may be only the remains of a field wall of post-1700 AD date. Impossible to classify the site as a hut site due to lack of shape of the remains. Potential monument identified by T. McDonald as part of an archaeological survey of the Clonmacnoise region in 1987 (McDonald 1987, 23). Described by McDonald as 'a group of hut foundations located on a scarp' (McDonald 1987, 23). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
