What is recorded here
In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The remains of a circular hut (diam. 2.2m) defined by a partially grass-covered, collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.6m). A break at SE may indicate the entrance. The SE portion of the interior is raised and the NW portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. There is another hut site (KE076-040004-) c. 10m to the S.
