Slieau Curn Hut Circle

Archaeology

One of a group of three hut circles. They are situated on an exposed hilltop with no trace of an enclosure. They are thought to be Bronze Age or Iron Age in date.  All three are grass covered. Hut circle B appears to adjoin Hut Circle C and is the western hut of the pair. It has an outer diameter of 9.0 metres to the centre of the communal entrance which is 1.5 metres wide. The wall base averages 2.0 metres wide with some stone outer facings visible in the southwest. The internal height of walls is 0.2 metres and the external height of 0.2 metres.  The hut interior has a scooped out effect. In the northeast section of the wall is a 2.0 metre wide entrance marked by low stones.
