Hut site in Dunaree Latin

Hut site

What is recorded here

Dunaree Latin holds a D-shaped hut inside a rath, its low earthen banks barely rising thirty centimetres above the Monaghan soil. The chamber measures 6.5 metres along its longer axis and joins another hut immediately to the north, forming a cramped domestic cluster rather than a lonely shelter. People may have lived there during seasonal work or local conflict, using the rath as a guardrail while the huts provided warmth. The earth still marks the footprint, preserving a small human arrangement that predates modern memory.
At the centre of rath (MO028-026001-) is a subcirular or D-shaped hut-site (ext. dims 6.5m NW-SE; 4.6m NE-SW) defined by low earthen banks (Wth 1m; H 0.3m), and it is conjoined with hut-site (MO028-026004-) immediately to the N. Date of revised upload: 06 December 2017
