Full Description
On the hill to the N of Culligran farm, at an altitude of c190m, are two round houses some 25m apart. That to the W, NH 387 417, is c10m in diameter from wall top to wall top. The wall of large boulders is spread to c2m and has a height of c0.4m to 0.6m. The entrance is in the SE and is c2m wide. The round house to the E, NH 3879 4181, is mutilated, but is c8m in diameter with wall spread to 1 to 1.5m and 0.4 to 0.6m in height. The entrance seems to be to the SE. There are probable cultivation terraces around these two sites, as well as an area of 'lazy beds' aligned SW-NE to the E.
