Hut site in Coimín Uí Chorráin — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

On the steep north slopes of Beenduff, a small circular stone chamber leans into the wind above Lough Coumeenoughter. Its walls rise nearly two metres before narrowing overhead, creating a space just large enough for one person to sit with knees drawn up. Sheep may have crowded the nearby folds, but this particular hut seems shaped for human breath, shadow and quiet watchfulness beside the water.

Located on the rim which impounds Lough Coumeenoughter, on the steep N slopes of Beenduff mountain. A number of structures occur in the area, but only this one circular corbelled drystone structure might be considered to have been a hut rather than a sheep-fold. D: 3.13 to 3.3m. H: 1.85m. T: 1.22m.
