Hut site in Walshestown South

Hut site

What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture. Monuments described in 1972 as the remains of nine subrectangular and oval-shaped hut sites within the interior of ringfort (WM018-120----). They abut the interior of the bank from SW-W-N-E-SE and at S. The huts are enclosed by an earth and stone foundation which form slight banks and scarps. One of the hut sites is higher and steeper than the others and may be a later feature. There are no visible traces of masonry. There is a small mound in the SW quadrant. See attached plan and profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien Date of upload: 11 February 2019

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
