What is recorded here

Dooneens holds a small square hut on a hill terrace between two mountains, its jumbled wall barely thirty centimetres high and its floor hidden beneath ferns. The valley slopes away to the NE, while two standing stone pairs wait farther along the ridge. Whoever built it made a tight, level room in rough grazing land, then left it to rain, grass and forgetting.

In rough hill grazing, on a terrace at the head of a valley sloping down to the NE, between Doughill Mountain to the NW and Douce Mountain to the SE. The remains of a square hut site (2.9m NW-SE; 2.8m NE-SW) defined by a jumbled stone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.3m). The level interior, which is obscured by ferns and rubble, is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at the S. A standing stone-pair (CO092-066001-) is c. 16m to the NW and a second standing stone-pair (CO092-067----) is c. 170m to the NE.
