The item of interest here is the lighter area of short grass in the foreground; the grass is shorter there because it is growing in thin soil on top of a concrete hut base. Here, at NS 40029 77040, the outline of the hut base is quite clear. About 20 metres to the east and to the west of this one, there are similar remains which show some fragments of concrete, but which reveal the overall outline rather less clearly. The large building in the background is a bottling plant (Image) at Kilmalid.
