What is recorded here

Derreenacrinnig East holds a small D-shaped hut beside a larger enclosure, proving that people valued the clear view south-west toward Castledonovan. Its curving stone wall still rises through peat in rough grazing, while a straight northern edge suggests the buildings shared one deliberate arrangement. Whoever lived there may have watched weather, herds or travellers arrive from that open valley, using the land before it became a forgotten shape.

In rough grazing, on the floor of a valley with views SW to Castledonovan. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2m N-S) defined by a jumbled, curving, stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.45m) with a straight N side (L 2.8m) which is formed by the external S arc of an enclosure (CO106-066----). The stone wall of the hut site protrudes above the surface of the peaty soil. The well-defined entrance to the enclosure is c. 2m to the E.
