Hut Circles

Pryor says 'don't call them huts' - yet that's what they're called. A dry-stone circular wall supported the eaves of a native home. Over the sticks was a thatch of heather, rushes, long grass or, perhaps, a more sturdy roof of turf. Only the stones are left now - much disturbed - and these are the hutcircles - aboriginal housing estates in the hills. There's reconstructed ones, on tourist routes, as well.
