Hut site in Derrynafinnia

Hut site

What is recorded here

In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on the SE-facing slopes of The East Pap of Dana. The remains of a circular hut (2.2m E-W; 2m N-S) defined by a heather-covered stone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.3m). The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 0.4m) and the NW portion is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is obscured by heather-covered rubble. Rubble is also scattered along the E arc externally. There are two other hut sites (KE076-068001-, KE076-068003-) c. 15m to the E and c. 10m to the S, respectively and there is a relict field wall (KE076-068004-) c. 70m to the E.
