Monument record MHG28042 - Possible Sheepfold, Cnoc Achadh na h-Uaighe

NC70NW 2.04 7161 0751

On the W flank of Cnoc Achadh na h-Vaighe is a settlement of three hut circles (A-C) one (A) with a souterrain, and an accompanying well-preserved field system. There is another vague structure at NC 7160 0746 apparently comprising an oblong enclosure, 10.0 by 5.0m with two small enclosures adjoining. The purpose of this structure and that at NC 7160 0755 remains uncertain, but the depth of peat enveloping them suggests considerable antiquity, and they may be broadly contemporary with the hut circles and field system.
Revised at 1:10,000.

The stone footings of what may have been a predominantly turf or wooden fold are situated beside a boggy sump. The footings comprise little more than a rickle of boulders, arranged in a reverse L-shape, possibly divided into three compartments.
