What is recorded here

The hut site in Ballyelly is a circular grass-covered mound wall, 9m wide, set in the NE quadrant of an enclosure that cuts through a slightly sunken depression. A wedge tomb lies 10m to the SW, near the enclosure’s centre, suggesting the place served both living and dead. The mound’s modest 1.1m width and the depression’s NNE-SSW line give the site a quiet, deliberate shape, as if people followed a hidden path when they built and buried there.
