Hut site in Rossmackowen Commons

In rough peaty hill pasture, with a scatter of surface stones and occasional outcropping rock, on the W bank of a stream on the lower S-facing slopes of Hungry Hill. The remains of a circular hut site (4.6m E-W; 4.3m N-S) defined by a partially sod-covered, jumbled, stone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.3m). The level interior is raised (H 0.25m) at the S and cut (D 0.15m) into the upslope at the N to compensate for the hillslope.
