What is recorded here
In rough, heather-clad, hill pasture, on the SE-facing slopes of Barrerneen. The remains of an oval hut site (3m E-W; 2m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) which is covered with heather. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.3m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is an enclosure (KE103-004006-) c. 12m to the NE.
