Hut site in Craggagh

Hut site

What is recorded here

Craggagh fort contains a circular hut eight metres across, its low wall rising only forty centimetres and hiding its entrance from modern sight. The structure sits beside an underground passage, suggesting people built a covered room and a hidden tunnel within the same defensive earthwork. Later field walls cut across the hut, proving the site stopped being a home long before it became a ruin.
In the centre of ‘Craggagh fort’, a large poorly preserved cashel (CL004-016002-). A roughly circular hut site (diam. c. 8m), defined by a low wall (H 0.4m) with no discernible entrance. A wall extends E from its SE side and a later field wall runs SW–NE over its NW side. An E–W Man-made underground passage (CL004-016045-) is located to its SW.
