BOOLEY HUT (destroyed) in Glenmakeeran

BOOLEY HUT (destroyed)

What is recorded here

Booley huts scattered across Northern Ireland, including this destroyed example in Glenmakeeran, served transient summer dwellings for mobile herders. The structure has vanished, but its name preserves the rhythm of seasonal movement and temporary shelter that shaped upland life.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BOOLEY HUT (destroyed). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
