What is recorded here

Within an extensive complex of middens (GA048-008001-). The remains consist of at least two circular, and one square, huts defined by a loose scatter of boulders: (a) close to NE part of Doonloughan Bay is a square hut (L/Wth 4.4m) enclosed by a rectangular annexe to N (L 6.4m, Wth 4.4m); (b) close to S end of False Bay there is at least one circular example (D c. 3m) containing a centrally placed hearth and doorway at E; (c) at S limits of midden complex is a hut which survives as an irregular spread of boulders (D c. 25m). Gibbons et al. (1988, 66) have since noted the existence of at least five huts in this area.
