Settlement Sites
Inside a cashel on the edge of Funshin Beg, a small semicircular outline pressed against an ancient stone enclosure wall is easy to miss entirely.
Measuring roughly 2.7 metres east to west, this possible hut site is modest in scale, the kind of structure that rewards attention rather than announces itself. A cashel is a stone-walled ringfort, a form of early medieval enclosed settlement common across the west of Ireland, and the interior of one would once have been a busy domestic space. What survives here is the faintest architectural memory of that life.
