Hut site in Corraun (kilmaine By.)

Hut site

What is recorded here

Two rectangular huts faced each other across the middle of a rath in Corraun, their low earthen banks still marking rooms where people may have slept, stored grain or simply waited out rain. The northern chamber measured ten metres long and five wide, large enough for several adults to move without brushing one another. The southern chamber answered it like a shadow, suggesting the rath belonged to more than one household or one purpose. No name survives for either room, but the symmetry implies pride: someone built them to match, not merely to fit.
In N half of a rath (MA118-099001-). Recorded by An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District as a subrectangular hut site (10.3m N-S; 5.1m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (Lavelle 994, 26, no. 143). There is another hut site (SL118-099003-) in the S half of the rath. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 20 December 2013
