What is recorded here

Situated inside the middle rampart in the SE quadrant of Mooghaun hillfort (CL042-074001-). A hut site excavated in 1995 (licence no. 92E0093) as part of the North Munster Project of the Discovery Programme formed part of the first phase of occupation in this area before the rampart was built. This hut site was on a lower level but in the same location as structure D (CL042-074024-). The outline of an oval, double-walled structure (ext. diam. 4m; int. dims. 2.5m x 3.5m) was defined by 34 stake-holes. A layer of occupation debris that seemed to be directly associated with the stake-holes continued beneath the rampart.
