Hut site in Knocknagowan

Hut site

What is recorded here

In rough, heather-clad pasture, broken by rock outcrops, on a W-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut (2.5m E-W; 2.3m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.3m). The larger base stones protrude above the surface of the bog. The W portion of the interior is raised (H 0.4m) and the E portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. However, the interior still retains a slope down to the W. Loose stones are scattered on the downslope externally.
