Hut site

What is recorded here

A collapsed rectangular arrangement of flagstones, 5m long and 2m wide, still shows two courses at its ends before a modern field wall cuts across it. The size fits a single person or a small herd shelter, not a grand hall, which makes the exposed top of Gleninagh sound both practical and lonely. Someone may have built it to keep out rain, store tools, or simply sit with the valley below, but the wall has already taken most of the answer.
Situated near the SW end of a prominent roughly oval NE–SW nunatak at the N end of the plateau that forms the top of Gleninagh Mountain. A partially grass-covered and collapsed rectangular arrangement of flagstones (ext. dims. 5m E–W; 2m N–S) with more than one course evident at E and W ends (max. H 0.5m). It is crossed by an E–W field wall. A wall at the NE edge of the nunatak may form part of an enclosure (CL002-006----). Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 30 November 2020
