Structure

What is recorded here

Situated at the inner (S) side of a lip at the outer edge of a shelf on the N-facing slope of the Leean plateau, with cliffs (H c. 25m) rising over it c. 25m to the S and a small basin just to the S. It is hidden from the Glencar valley, which is to the N. This structure was first identified by Kytmannow as a booley-hut in Area G, and it is accompanied by three house sites. The structure is marked on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and probably post-dates the other house sites. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 4.65m NW-SE: 3.6m NE-SW; Int. dims 3.35m NW-SE; 2.3m NE-SW) constructed with a double-faced drystone wall (Wth 0.6-0.7m; H 0.6-0.8m) with an entrance gap (Wth 0.6m) at the W end of the SW wall.
