Hut site in Derreencollig — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Derreencollig holds a circular stone foundation barely twenty centimetres high, facing its narrow entrance toward the southwest. A standing stone watches from three metres away while a collapsed wall arcs faintly to the northwest. The small dimensions suggest a modest shelter rather than a grand hall, yet the deliberate alignment implies someone valued light, heat or company enough to shape the stones carefully.

Foundation of circular stone hut (3.1m N-S; 2.6m E-W; H 0.2m); entrance (Wth 0.6m) to SW. Located 3m SSE of standing stone (CO080-01102-). Arc of collapsed stone wall to NW of hut site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
