Hut site in Fahee North

Hut site

What is recorded here

Fahee North holds a figure-of-eight hut site above the 700-foot contour, its grassed-over stone walls marking two chambers joined on a high ridge. The shape suggests one broad living space and one narrower chamber, perhaps for storage, sleep or shelter when Clare weather closed the sky. Sixty metres away a cairn still stands, pointing to a place where people marked time, lived narrowly and left behind only a line the satellite can barely believe.
On a high (above the 700’contour) NE-SW ridge in mixed rough grazing and exposed limestone and within a field system (CL006-164----). Visible on MapGenie satellite imagery (2013-2018) as a possible conjoined, figure-of-eight shaped, hut site, orientated NE-SW (diams c. 9m NE-SW; c. 4m NW-SE), defined by grassed-over stone walling. A cairn (CL010-183----) stands c. 60m to the SE. See attached image: CL010-307----_01 Annotated snip from MapGenie imagery (2013-2018) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 17 July 2023
