Recorded monuments

• WI033-002 Booley hut
  Description

  Situated on a fairly steep SSW-facing slope in rocky terrain. Hut complex with three chambers constructed of drystone walling (Wth 1m; max. H 1.5m) with entrance gaps at the W. Chamber A (int. dims. 4.4m E-W; 3.6m N-S) is to the N of Hut B (int. diam. 2.6m). Part of a third chamber (Wth 2.4m N-S) occurs to the north of A. The site was excavated in 1979 (NMI files) and produced sherds of nineteenth- and twentieth-century pottery and some fragments of iron. Since this monument was visited in 1990 this area has been planted with forestry. An inspection in 2012 revealed that this monument, constructed of rubble walling, has been partially destroyed by the forestry. The E-side of the larger chamber appears to be intact (L 3.8m) and a portion of the SW quadrant, as well as some associated walling 2m to the SSE.
