What is recorded here

Mullaghmesha holds three conjoined hut sites, and this is the most north-easterly of them. A two-metre circle, partially destroyed, suggests a small dwelling rather than a grand hall. The angle and grouping imply people lived close together, sharing fire and weather on open ground. Size and position still speak, even when the wall has thinned to memory.

This is the most north-easterly example of three conjoined hut sites (see CO106-073----, CO106-073001-). This hut site is described as being 2m in diameter and is partially destroyed. (pers. comm. J.
