What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on the N bank of a river, on an E-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. The remains of an oval hut site (5m E-W; 2.2m N-S) defined by a grass-covered bank (Wth 1.2m) of earth and stone. The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 1m) and the W portion is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level and obscured by ferns.
