What is recorded here

Listed as Mín na Saileach 5 (Costello 2016, 342). Oval hut site (ext. dims. 5m x 3.2m; int. dims. 2.7m x 1.6m) aligned E-W with walls (avg. H 0.65m; Wth 0.9m) constructed of rubble stone and sods. Possible entrance at SW. Located on slight terrace at head of valley. Waterlogged ground lies just E of structure which is built into slope. Wall material appears to have tumbled into interior over time, lending the structure a bowl-shape. Much moss and bracken overgrowth. Located on slight terrace at head of valley containing Sruthán na mBothóg, i.e. ‘Stream of the Huts’ (Costello 2020, 85).
