What is recorded here
Gowlin holds a tiny hut site beside a ringfort entrance, its low bank forming a narrow circular chamber only four and a half metres across. It is small enough to fit inside a bedroom, yet it belongs to a place large enough to have resisted forgetting. The hut may have served a keeper, a worker or a person who needed shelter close to the main gate. Its size turns the whole region into a house rather than a monument.
In ringfort (CW024-024001-). A sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 4.5m) defined by low bank, which abutts ringfort bank immediately E of its entrance.
