Slieau Freoaghane

Archaeology

Roundhouses; shieling mounds. A group of four roundhouses survive as penannular earthworks on the south-east facing slopes of Slieau Freoaghane. The roundhouses are grouped together in pairs, and appear to have doorways facing south-east, downslope. The structures are approximately 7-8m in diameter, though are overgrown with heather and bilberry. Gelling's small-scale distribution map of shielings shows 24 shieling mounds in the general area.
