What is recorded here
Knockanemeeleen preserves a ten-metre-long hut inside a ringfort, proving the fortress contained domestic life rather than empty defence. The western half of the interior still holds the footprint of a place where people cooked, slept and argued under a roof now gone. Size and shape leave little room for fantasy, but they invite imagination of the hands that built it and the days it sheltered.
In ringfort (CO136-099----). Hut site (L 10m; Wth 6m) in W half of interior.
