What is recorded here

Kilcorney holds a round hut whose double-faced wall still stands at the west edge while grass and soil bury the rest. It sits in a shallow depression on a north-facing slope, tied by radiating banks to enclosures, houses and cairns that have marked the same land since prehistoric times. The entrance has vanished, but the shape remains clear enough to imagine someone stepping inside, pulling a door of hide or wood across the gap and living within arm’s reach of the fields they worked.

In a shallow depression on a N-facing slope at the edge of a plateau, in a multiperiod field system (CL009-021001-), with an E–W ravine c. 115m to the N. A subcircular area (int. dims. 8.4m E–W; 7.8m N–S; ext. dims. 12.4m N–S; 11.5m E–W) defined by a double-faced wall which is only visible at the W (Wth 1.2m) and elsewhere by a bank (Wth 2–2.3m; int. H 0.4–0.6m; avg. ext. H 0.4m; ext. H at N 0.8m) in which occasional facing-stones can be seen. The entrance is not traceable. A grass-covered field bank extends W from the NW side of the hut site to the perimeter of an enclosure (CL009-021016-) c. 19m to the W. Other field banks radiate out from this hut site at the E and SW, forming part of a large multiperiod field system (CL009-021001-). Among the numerous enclosures, houses, hut sites and cairns in this vicinity dating from prehistoric to post-medieval periods (Grant 2010, 47) there is an enclosure (CL009-021025-) c. 65m to the S; within it are a prehistoric house (CL009-021021-), a second possible house (CL009-021035-) and burial cairn (CL009-021020-). Another enclosure lies c. 88m to the NW (CL009-021005-). Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 3 November 2021
