At Tullycommon in County Clare, a small hut site once sat within the northern quadrant of a cashel known as Cashlaungarr. A cashel is a type of early medieval stone enclosure, typically circular, built to define and protect a farmstead or settlement. Inside this one, at least four such huts were identified, three clustering in the northern section and a fourth positioned towards the centre.

The antiquarian Thomas Johnson Westropp recorded the site, including a drawing published in 1896 that showed the arrangement of the huts within the cashel. By 1915, when he returned to the subject in print, he was already noting that the features had become hardly distinguishable. The language is telling: not destroyed, not removed, simply dissolving back into the ground. When the site was inspected in 1999, the hut could not be discerned at all. What Westropp had carefully drawn and described had, over the course of roughly a century, ceased to be legible in the landscape.
