Hut site in Doonnagore

Hut site

What is recorded here

Doonnagore Castle watches from 140m away, but the hut faces north into the weather, its grass-covered wall reduced to 25cm on a ridge where pasture still grows. The interior sits 25cm below the ground, a shallow bowl that may have held heat, shadow or simply a person waiting out the wind. Its exact age has slipped away, yet the shape remains clear enough to imagine hands stacking stone before the castle rose.
On the N-facing slope of a prominent ridge, in rough pasture. This possible circular hut site (int. diam. 4.5m; ext. dims. 11m E-W; 7.5m N-S) is defined by a collapsed and grass-covered wall (max. H 0.25m). The interior is lower (D 0.25m) than the surrounding ground level. Doonnagore Castle (CL008-087----) lies c. 140m to SW.
