What is recorded here
Kilbeg on Carbery East holds two conjoined circular huts inside a ringfort, a compact domestic cluster rather than a scattered field. They may have housed one family or two related households sharing a hearth, kitchen and yard. The conjoined shape suggests closeness, co-operation and perhaps tension under one roof.
In ringfort (CO143-005----). One of two circular conjoined hut sites (CO143-005001-, CO143-005002-) in interior.
