What is recorded here
Reenogrena holds a seven-metre circular hut inside a ringfort, its earth and stone bank still standing seventy-five centimetres high. The off-centre southern position suggests practical living rather than ceremonial display, perhaps shielding occupants from winter wind or directing daylight into the dwelling. Someone shaped that bank, tended it, and left it behind. The numbers preserve what touch and memory would have lost.
In ringfort (CO143-083----). Circular hut site (diam. c. 7m) in interior off-centre to S, defined by earth and stone bank (H 0.75m).
