Hut site in Mín Na Saileach

Listed as Mín na Saileach 9. Triangular-shaped pen (ext. dims. 4m x 3.9m; int. dims. 3.25m x 3.1m) adjoining Mín na Saileach 8. A line of medium to large blocks runs out from said hut site towards a large, upright stone, where it converges with a better-preserved wall (avg. H 0.4m; Wth 0.5m), forming a triangular space. The outcrop again forms the back wall. Probable entrance near the hut site. 1.5m to the S of this pen and the hut site is a low bank which appears to mark off the terrace on which they are situated from a larger patch of dry ground. No cultivation ridges could be found here, however (Costello 2016, 344; Costello 2020, 86).
