What is recorded here
Bonane Heritage Park preserves a small rectangular hut on a SW-facing slope above the Sheen River. Its collapsed drystone wall rises about a metre before ferns and trees swallow the room again. A rath sits immediately to the east and a standing stone waits seventy metres to the north-east, suggesting the hut belonged to a busy local landscape rather than a forgotten oddity.

The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.9m N-S; 2.7m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 1m) which is obscured by ferns and trees.
