Hut site in Ballard Commons

In rough hill pasture, on bog, on the SE-facing slopes of Maulin overlooking the valley of the Owgarriff River. The remains of a circular hut site (2.4m E-W; 2.2m N-S), which protrude from the bog, consist of mainly large stones (T 0.65m; H 0.5m) along the W arc and a jumble of smaller stones elsewhere. The hut site is almost totally obscured by rushes. There is a hut site (CO115-103003-) 6m to the SW and another hut site (CO115-103005-) 6m to the NW.
