Hut site in Muntermellan

A subcircular area (DG015-014001-) enclosed by a ruined stone wall. It is adjoined on the S by a smaller subcircular space c. 10m in diameter also surrounded by a ruined stone wall. The wall seems to have been originally 1.4m in width. There is a 5m square foundation in the interior of the main enclosure, defined by a grass-covered disturbed wall. The site is located at the base of a rock-strewn hill to its N, in rough pasture, with better land on the lower levels towards Sheephaven Bay. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'
