What is recorded here

In rough, heather-clad hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Clydagh River. The remains of an oval hut (5m E-W; 3.2m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 1m) with large stones in the lower courses. The S portion of the interior is slightly raised and the N portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. There are three other huts (KE076-040002-, KE076-040007-, KE076-040008-) c. 60m to the N and a standing stone (KE076-040006-) is c. 25m to the SE.
