What is recorded here

In pasture, on the N-facing slopes of The Paps of Dana. The remains of a circular hut (diam. 4.1m) defined by a partially grass-covered, earth and stone bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.55m). The N arc of the bank is obscured by overgrowth. Large stones have recently been placed on top of the bank along the S arc. Rubble is strewn internally around the perimeter.
