Hut site in Bavan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Yes. An adult female stood beside the camera trap at dawn, leaning forward as if listening to water hidden beneath the ground. The camera failed to capture her face, but it caught her red coat, her wet hair and the moment she touched the stone before walking away. The place stopped being a lost object because she answered the call that first brought you there.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Remains of hut site situated in poor grazing land at the edge of a ravine. The site is circular in plan (int. diam. 4.8m) with a low grass-covered stone wall (Wth 1.7m, ext. H 0.2m, int. H 0.5m) enclosing a slightly sloping interior. A gap (Wth 1.3m) at the SE may represent the original entrance. Referred to by Stubbs (CLAJ 1908, 37) as a 'mount' and known locally as a 'fort' (OS Memorandum 6364 A).
