Hut site in Reenogrena

Hut site

What is recorded here

Reenogrena holds a possible hut inside a promontory fort, where stone and sea still touch. The arrangement suggests people lived beside the cliff edge, watching weather and taking shelter when it turned. The exact chamber has faded, but the fort preserves the shape of that choice.
In promontory fort (CO143-085----). Possible hut site noted in interior. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
