Hut site in Clooneen (tireragh By.) is a hut site in Clooneen (tireragh By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies a 4m square on a slight slope, 5m south-southeast of a larger rath bank. A low earth and stone wall, 1.4m wide at the base and 0.4m high inside, encloses the area. The wall has a 1m gap at the south for an entrance, while a shallow inward scarp replaces the missing wall on the northwest side.
Situated on slight SSE-facing slope in pasture, 5m to SSE of external base of bank enclosing a rath (SL011-090001-).
