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.
