Settlement Sites
On the exposed headland of Toehead in west Cork, there are the remains of a hut site, a modest but telling category of monument that speaks to the long human habit of sheltering in coastal margins.
Hut sites of this kind, stone-walled or earthen enclosures marking where people once lived or worked seasonally, turn up along the Irish coastline with some regularity, though they attract far less attention than ringforts or tower houses. Their very plainness is part of what makes them easy to overlook, and easy to underestimate.
