Hut site in Dunboy — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

O'Sullivan Bere's castle still stands at Dunboy, but a forgotten circular hut lies seventy metres southwest, buried beneath coniferous branches and scattered stone. Its narrow northeast entrance once opened onto a level area where someone may have lived, loved or fled before the wood closed over the truth. The castle belongs to history and the hut belongs to mystery, yet both share the same slope and the same forgetting.

Within a coniferous wood, on a NE-facing slope c. 70m to SW of O'Sullivan Bere's castle (CO128-001002-) at Dunboy. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 4m) defined by a poorly preserved stone wall (H 0.3-0.7m) which has been cut into the upslope E-W. The entrance (Wth 0.75m) at the NE leads out to a level area. A coniferous tree is growing in the interior, which is obscured by rubble.
