These kinds of sites, the low, often circular or oval footprints of ancient dwellings, can range widely in date and purpose. Some are the remains of early medieval seasonal shelters used by herders moving cattle to summer pastures, a practice known as booleying. Others are far older. What marks this particular example as worth noting is precisely the uncertainty surrounding it: the site is recorded, it is real, but the detail that would place it in time and context has yet to be made publicly available.
