Hut site in Lismacsheedy

Hut site

What is recorded here

Lismacsheedy holds an 8m hut site on the W-facing slope of Cappanawalla, joined 120m south-west to a cliff-edge fort and a wider system of cashels. The arrangement suggests people moved between shelter, defence and open ground as the landscape demanded. Ros Ó Maoldúin brought the place into public knowledge, giving witness to what the slope still carries.
