What is recorded here
Two adjoining hut foundations lie hidden inside the ancient rath at Freahanes, waiting for someone to remember the heat and noise that once filled them. The stones have lost their walls, but the shape of the rooms still presses against the grass like a dream half-forgotten.
In a rath (CO134-047----). Foundations of two adjoining hut sites (see CO134-047002-) in interior.
