What is recorded here
Booley huts were temporary dwellings for seasonal mountain grazing, and this destroyed example occupied Glenmakeeran in County Antrim. The structure has vanished, leaving behind only a map point and the memory of people who lived simply beneath open sky. They likely arrived with animals and left before winter, turning rock and rain into a home for months at a time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BOOLEY HUT (destroyed). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
