What is recorded here

Inside Lisnaran fort in County Louth, a circular hut site with a four-metre diameter and a larger rectangular shadow beside it reveal a crowded domestic corner rather than an empty military shell. The slight banks still mark where people lived, worked and perhaps argued beneath the fort's wider defence. What is certain is that the area supported more than one household or function, while the exact routine remains lost to time.

At E of interior of 'Lisnaran fort' (LH015-015001-) is a circular hut site (LH015-015002-) (int. diam. 4.2m) delimited by a slight bank (Wth 1m, H 0.2m). Adjacent to this hut site, on the edge of the interior of the site, are two banks suggesting the former existence of a larger, rectangular hut (LH015-015003-).
