What is recorded here

In Coolnagoppoge, three small hut sites and a rath cluster on a NW-facing slope above the Sheen River valley. The main dwelling is D-shaped, 4m long, with a grass-covered drystone wall and a straight earth-and-stone bank on its SE side. Its collapsed 0.7m entrance faces NW, suggesting a doorway rather than a broken gap. The nearby huts and rath imply a small hillside settlement, not a lone shelter.

In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (4m NW-SE) defined by a partially grass-covered drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) with a straight SE side (L 6m NE-SW) formed by a linear bank of earth and stone. There is a collapsed entrance (Wth 0.7m) at NW. Two other hut sites (KE102-011004-, KE102-011005-) are c. 25m and c. 30m to the NE, respectively. There is a rath (KE102-011----) c. 40m to the NW.
