Hut site in Mullaghakaraun — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mullaghakaraun holds a square hut site inside a large trivallate ringfort, its grass-covered wall footings stretching sixteen metres north-south and seventeen metres east-west on a north-facing slope. The possible dividing cross wall suggests two chambers rather than one empty box, perhaps a kitchen and sleeping place for someone who lived under the fort’s deeper defences. That much is visible; the rest belongs to imagination, but the shape resists forgetting.

Situated on the N facing slope of high ground in undulating countryside. Large trivallate ringfort (OF021-001001-), in the northern sector of the interior are the grass covered wall footings of a possible hut site (16m N-S; 17m E-W) square in shape with possible dividing cross wall. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
