Hut site in Farthingstown (rathconrath By.)

Situated on a natural rise, in undulating pasture. Within SW quadrant of ringfort (WM017-102----) a rectangular-shaped area (dims. 6.5m E-W; 5.5m N-S) enclosed by the poorly preserved remains of earth and stone banks. These incorporate rock outcrop and have been disturbed by deposits of field clearance stones in places. The interior has an almost square-cut base suggesting a house site. The remains of an earthen bank (L 11.6m; Wth 0.8m) incorporating some large stones set on end, extends from the NE corner of the house site to the perimeter of the ringfort interior at NNW.
