Hut site in Shronahiree More

Hut site

What is recorded here

Shronahiree More holds a rectangular hut site on a small hillock above bog at the mouth of the Bridia valley. Two upright slabs still mark its northwest entrance, while rubble fills the space where someone once lived. The rough walls rise only fifty centimetres, yet they preserve the shape of a room small enough for one person to know by heart.

Two upright slabs define the entrance at NW. Interior infilled with rubble. D: 3.8m x 2.4m. H: .5m. T: .7m. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.
