Located outside the inner ecclesiastical enclosure associated with the church of St. Seachnaill at NNE. The hut-site (ME044-033007-) revealed in excavation (94E0178) by L. Simpson was sealed by a charcoal layer (dims 3m N-S; 2.2m E-W; T 0.1m) which contained lenses of ash and fire-reddened clay (excavations.ie 1995:230). Just to the W was a pit (dims 2.2m N-S; 1.6m E-W; D 0.25m) filled with a similar deposit over a base of yellow clay which was over a fire-reddened orange subsoil. Although no hearth or furnace bottoms were recovered, the extensive burning of the subsoil indicates that the excavation was in the vicinity of a metalworking area. (Simpson 1995, 13-17)
