Slieau Curn Settlement
An area of probable peat extraction where possible "foundations" have been reported. This is in a marshy area covered with reeds and moss. The land falls gently from the northwest to a steep hillside ascending to the southeast. The area has been clearly affected by peat cutting, leaving hollows and banks of irregular form.
At SC 34678998 an oval feature has been noted, measuring 8.0 metres, north to south, by 6.0 metres east to west, with an outer height of 0.4 metres and a vague bank of 1.0 metres width, and an interior height of 0.2 metres. This feature is not level but follows the slope of the surrounding ground. It seems likely that it represents an area of peat extraction dating to the past two centuries, rather than a structure associated with any settlement.
