Creg y Whaullian, Colden Mountain Hut Circles

Archaeology

The site of a possible round house or hut circle associated with the rectilinear structure PRN 0720.00.  It has an external diameter of 7.0 metres and the maximum height of its wall bases is 0.4 metres. Two smaller circular structures here have external diameters of 5.0 metres and wall bases up to 0.2 metres high. No entrances are traceable.


The site has been proposed as a possible keeill but are in a highly inaccessible and unlikely spot for a keeill.  The hut circles do not resemble the built-up mounds of medieval shielings and are thus more probably Iron Age or perhaps Bronze Age in date.
