What is recorded here
The square hut in Corbally still shows a thick earth and stone bank around a level floor scattered with loose stones. It fits the northern half of a larger rath, suggesting one household or workshop inside a defended landing. A person may have stood at that corner, watching the sea road or tending a fire until the stones cooled.
In the N half of a rath (KE057-035----). The remains of a square hut site (7.6m NE-SW; 8.6m NW-SE) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.65m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.8m). There are loose stones scattered within the level interior.
