This possible hut site was discovered by Mr. Colm Mac Diarmada (pers. comm. October 2015). It is in an upland area of rough grazing and cut-away bogland on the SW hillslope of Binn Shléibhe/Ben Levy, overlooking Lough Corrib to the SE and an inlet of Lough Mask to the NW.
The hut site (4.4m E-W; 3.8m N-S), roughly oval in plan, is defined by the footings of possible inner and outer wall-facing stones (Wth 0.85m at N). Opposing gaps are evident at roughly W (Wth 0.7m) and E (Wth 0.4m).
A scatter of boulders (2.3m E-W; 1.3m N-S; H 0. 2m) is visible c. 6m to the SW, however, no discernible structure is evident and it appears to be tumbled material. A ring-barrow (GA026-020----) lies c. 55m to the NE.
