Booley hut

What is recorded here

Situated 13m N and 25m E of Glenreemore Brook in upland area. This stream marks the boundary with Knocknadroose townland. Present remains consist of the bracken covered walls of a rectangular-shaped hut site or booley site. This appears to be the Booley hut described in 1949 by Liam Price (Corlett and Weaver 2002, 509) as following: 'Coming down near the Glanreemore Brook, Burke showed me two more rectangular foundations or enclosures of stones, like the Boolia House (WM016-015001-), and about the same size, on the slope above the bog'.
