Hut site in Coskeam

Hut site

What is recorded here

Coskeam is a cashel in County Clare, Ireland. It contains at least two small hut sites and a nearby cairn that may hide a third. The main oval measure is 3.4m long and 2m wide, with a collapsed wall and occasional facing stones. The second lies 2m to the southeast, while the cairn sits 3m to the south-southeast. These are not grand rooms, but human-shaped marks inside a defended place. They suggest that the cashel was lived in, not merely feared or passed.

Another hut site (CL006-062002-) lies 2m to the SE and a cairn (CL006-062004-) 3m to SSE may obscure a third. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 13 September 2021
