Hut site in Shronebirrane

In the SE sector of an enclosure (KE108-055004-). The remains of a rectangular hut site (3.75m E-W; 3.2m N-S) defined by upright slabs set end on in the W and N walls. The hut site is open to the E. The N portion of the interior is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope and the S portion is built up (H 0.6m) externally where it is stone faced. Rubble from the collapsed walls is scattered downslope to the S and SE. The interior is level. Two other hut sites (KE108-055005-, KE108-055007-) are 38m to the NW and 10m to the E, respectively.
