The National Monuments Service's description
Several hut sites were noted, in the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries, in the sand dunes of Horn head, close to a stream and extending up the slope of an adjacent hill. They were roughly circular, defined on the perimeter by stones. Their size in diameter was described as being between ‘five and eight paces’ (PRIA 1912, vol. 6, series 3, 349). Their exact location is unknown but it is possible that a hut site (DG015-010----) found in 1980 close to a stream in Pollaguill Td. is one of them.
