What is recorded here
Coskeam holds a circular hut only two metres wide, buried inside a cashel wall and waiting for someone to remember it. The site still shows its stone edge, small enough for one person to touch both sides at once. It may have been a bedroom, a workshop or a hiding place for a child during storms. The cashel stood tall while the hut disappeared, but the wall still marks the room where a human life fit entirely within stone.
In the interior of a cashel (CL006-062001-), E of centre (4m W of the cashel wall). A circular hut site (int. dims. 2.7m E–W; 2m N–S) defined by a tumbled stone wall (Wth 0.9–1.3m; H 0.3–0.5m) with inner and outer facing-stones. Another hut site (CL006-062003-) lies 2m to the NW and a cairn 2m to the SW may obscure a third. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 13 September 2021
