Hut site in Coomclogh

Hut site

What is recorded here

In Coomclogh, a sub-circular hut site occupies a sheltered hollow near the top of a south-facing ridge overlooking the upper valley of the River Ouvane. Random fieldstones still mark its walls, rising no higher than forty centimetres beside a relict field boundary. The eastern entrance has partly vanished, yet the small measured chamber suggests someone once chose that exact spot to shield a fire, a sleeping place or a quiet daily life from the valley wind.
