What is recorded here
Ducavan holds two hut sites inside one ringfort, marking a small domestic settlement rather than a passing camp. The distinction suggests people lived there long enough to build, return, and maintain separate rooms or households. That much structure implies pride, routine, and perhaps argument over whose corner caught the best light.
One of two hut sites in ringfort (LH003-012001-). Also see LH003-012003-.
