What is recorded here
Deelish holds a rectangular hut site beside the eastern bank of a rath. Its stone foundations measure five metres north-south and six metres east-west, marking a small dwelling tucked against a larger defensive or ceremonial structure. The proximity suggests the hut served the rath, perhaps housing a keeper, worker or resident who watched the land.
In rath (CO119-014----). Stone foundations of rectangular hut site (5m N-S; 6m E-W) adjoining ESE bank of rath.
