What is recorded here
Coomclogh holds a collapsed stone ring barely half a metre high, waiting for someone to remember how it entered. The western wall flattens into a long field boundary, suggesting the hut did not sit alone but anchored a larger lived landscape. Perhaps it stored tools, sheltered a herder, or marked a claim older than ownership.
Summary description of monument: (additional details may be supplied on a separate page(s))
In open pasture. A sub-circular hut site consisting of collapsed dry-stone walling 0.6m W and max H of 0,6m measuring externally 3m E-W and 3.5m N-S. The western side is slightly flattened and forms the northern terminus of a 12m length of N-S relict field boundary. There is no obvious entrance to the hut site.
