First documented by archaeologist Davies in 1942, this site was one of several potential hut locations he identified along the ridge, designating this particular spot as ‘hut k’. His original description noted a small hollow measuring about 4 metres across and less than 30 centimetres deep, which appeared to be surrounded by a ring of stones; he suggested it might have been a pit dwelling or similar structure.

When the Donegal Survey revisited the site in 1983, they recorded a circular area nearly 6 metres in diameter, enclosed by a low bank of clay and small stones about 25 centimetres high, though the southern and southeastern portions had already been destroyed. The location, situated on the southern side of Two Mile Ridge near several other hut sites, offered a glimpse into how our ancestors might have lived in this exposed landscape.

A more recent inspection in 2015 revealed how time has further obscured these ancient remains. Where Davies’s map indicated the hut should be, surveyors found a shallow, grass covered depression measuring 6 metres northeast to southwest and 4 metres northwest to southwest, but no visible evidence of the enclosing wall remained. Adjacent features include a circular cropmark about 4 metres in diameter on the western side, and a cluster of three slight depressions to the southwest. Whether any of these subtle marks in the landscape represent the actual hut site recorded by Davies remains uncertain, a reminder of how quickly even stone structures can fade back into the Irish countryside.
