Booley hut in Cregganroe

Booley hut

What is recorded here

In rough upland pasture, located on a relatively narrow terrace on the lower N facing slope of a rocky ridge, overlooking an expanse of boggy ground which stretches N from the base of the ridge. It is situated on the N edge of the terrace, with ground falling away steeply immediately to N of the hut. This is one of a cluster of booley huts (MA096-034001- to MA096-034010-) associated with a field system (MA096-034----). This booley hut consists of a subcircular area (int. diam. c. 3m) enclosed by low, tumbled, largely moss-covered drystone wall (Wth 0.8-1m; H 0.3-0.4m). There is no obvious entrance gap. Much moss-covered stone is strewn in the interior. A small subrectangular annex (c. 2m N–S; c. 1m E–W), defined by a rough setting of stones, is appended to the exterior of the hut on its E side. An E–W field wall intersects with this booley hut on its SW side.
