These modest stone structures, catalogued as DG096-035001/003, sit within close proximity to one another, offering a glimpse into how people once lived and worked in this remote corner of Ireland.

The most intact of the three is a square-shaped dwelling with internal dimensions measuring 1.7 metres by 1.42 metres. Its drystone walls, constructed without mortar, still stand up to 1.1 metres high in places, with some sections preserving four courses of stonework. The walls measure about 0.8 metres thick, substantial enough to have provided decent insulation against the mountain weather. What appears to be an entrance gap, roughly 0.45 metres wide, faces southeast; likely positioned to catch the morning sun whilst offering some protection from prevailing winds.

The other two hut sites complete this small settlement, with one located 14 metres to the south and another 18 metres to the north. Their presence suggests this wasn’t a solitary dwelling but rather a small community, perhaps a family group or seasonal workers who made use of the mountain’s resources. The bog preservation has helped maintain these structures, though centuries of peat cutting have gradually revealed them to modern eyes.
