What is recorded here

Half a metre of wall, eight metres of shadow, and a river that never stopped moving. The hut gave up its shape long before the rushes swallowed it, yet the stones still mark a room where someone lived, loved, and disappeared. Across the water, old field lines and a rath wait for the bog to release them. Gowlane keeps its dead shallow, its stories patient, and its borders drawn in water instead of ink.

In rough hill pasture, on bog, on the N bank of the Kealincha River. The jumbled remains of an oval hut site (8m NE-SW; 6.8m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.4m), which includes some large stones in its lower courses. Rubble is scattered internally and externally and the entire hut site is obscured by rushes. A rath (CO115-006----) and a network of pre-bog field boundaries (CO115-079----) are at the opposite bank of the river, c. 60m to the SE.
