Early Medieval House and Souterrain (Barnahely)

The principal features at the site comprised two sub-terranean chambers (probable souterrain) and the foundation remains of c. 6 m-diameter circular building, all likely dating to the early medieval period. An unusual rectilinear slot foundation was found to the south of the building, its function remains uncertain.
