What is recorded here
No visible wall remains, but the ground still holds the shape of a small round room inside the rath. That much is written in the survey. Whether the room housed a person, a loom, a forge or a seasonal kitchen cannot be told from the description alone. The rath and hut may have belonged to one life or several, and the absence of a named occupant does not remove the possibility of occupancy.
In the N quadrant of a rath (KE067-015----). The remains of a circular hut (diam. 5.2m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.25m). The interior is in pasture.
