What is recorded here

Cummeenshrule holds a small circular hut beside the Priest’s Leap, its stones no higher than a knee in a steep valley above the Coomeelan Stream. The building sits half on living rock, with a narrow entrance facing northwest and a little enclosure nearby for animals or cultivation. Whoever made it chose a tight, dangerous place where water, grass and rock all meet.

In rough steep hill grazing, on the N side of the Priest’s Leap, on a W facing valley containing a tributary of the Coomeelan Stream. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. c. 3m) defined by lower courses of a drystone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.3m) with entrance (Wth 0.6m) at NW. The S half of the hut is built on a low ridge of exposed bedrock. A small stream runs immediately to the W while the main river is further to the E. To the N and W the land rises steeply with terraces and rock faces. Immediately to the SW there is a small, roughly rectangular and partially built up area which could have been used for corralling livestock or for cultivation. Further to the SW and also to the N are two dry stone walls (KE103-060001-) built across natural terraces.
