Full Description

SABS 43: Baile an Truiseil township: Ruined black house NB 37464 53756 and enclosure NB 37415 53719

A ruined black house on the southern limit of the survey area was recorded, and an associated enclosure wall, neither of which are shown on the 1st edition (1853) or 6-inch (1898) maps. These sites are part of the Baile an Truiseil township (see SABS 41).

An upstanding black house opposite the track from these sites was also recorded, and is on the 1st edition map (1853), but lies outwith the survey area.
