Hut site in Ballyling

Hut site

What is recorded here

Two low, curving banks adjoin the inner ringfort at Ballyling, marking possible hut sites on either east and west side. They suggest a small domestic quarter where people lived, cooked and argued beside the defensive earthwork. The collapsed shape preserves the scale of ordinary rooms rather than grand hallways.
In ringfort (CW024-046001-). Two areas/sub-divisions (c. 15m x c. 7m) defined by low, curving collapsed banks adjoin inner bank at E and W, may represent remains of hut sites (see also CW024-046003-). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 August 2011
