Hut site in Rossmackowen Commons

In rough hill pasture, on a break on a steep E-facing peaty slope. The jumbled remains of a circular hut site (diam. 4m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m). The level interior, which is partially obscured by rubble, is raised (0.2m) at the E and cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope at the W to compensate for the hillslope. Another hut site (CO115-116002-) is 4m to the SW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
