What is recorded here
Hut site in Carnaweeleen is a hut site in Carnaweeleen, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a grassy terrace on the steep east-facing slope of Kesh Corann. A slight rim, about two metres wide and forty centimetres high, marks a circular area six metres across. The interior appears slightly sunken because the site is cut into the rising ground on the west side.
On a grassy terrace, on the steep E-facing slope of Kesh Corann. A barely perceptible circular area (6m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by a slight rim (Wth c. 2m; H 0.4m). The interior appears slightly sunken as the hut site is cut into the rising ground on the W side. A rath (SL040-004----) lies c. 50m to E at the base of the slope.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
