What is recorded here
At least one circular hut measured 5.5m across and may have shared its ringfort interior with a second, both lying south of the centre in County Louth. Such a small dwelling suggests a household that cooked, slept and worked inside a defensible earthwork rather than beside it. The precise layout still resists easy description, but the chance of two huts transforms the place from a lone shelter into a cramped domestic core where several people likely lived, argued and endured the weather together.
At least one hut site (LH005-020002-) (diam. 5.5m) and possibly a second (LH005-020003-) to S of centre of the interior of ringfort (LH005-020001-).
