Hut site in Ardgroom Outward

On rough hill pasture, high up on the N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (4.1m E-W; 4m N-S) defined by a collapsed stone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.3m) SW-SE and by intermittent stones which protrude through the base of a bank SE-SW. The level interior is raised (H 0.3m) at N and cut into the upslope at S to compensate for the hillslope. An upright slab at the SE may indicate one side of the entrance.
