Hut site in Cloghatanny — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Bolart Corn mill still stands beside Cloghatanny river, but the rectangular hut nearby has surrendered to grass and memory. Its stone footings mark a narrow chamber perhaps built to store grain, shelter workers or hide tools from rain. The river has washed away the roof, the doors and most of the reason it existed. What remains is a shallow box drawn in earth, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that carried its stones.

Rectangular shaped stone hut situated on the W bank of Cloghtanny river about 100m north of Bolart Corn mill. Only the grass covered wall footings survive of a small rectangular building orientated (int. dims. 12.4m E-W; 4.4m N-S; wall T 1.5m approx.). Possibly associated with the nearby 19th-century corn mill. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
