Description

A walkover survey was carried out by members of NOSAS in June 2002 to record the archaeological features within the area of Upper Gleann Goibhre. Eighteen archaeological features were recorded, comprising of 15 shieling huts, 2 enclosures and a pen. A further visit to the site was made in July 2016 and the remains of an additional 15 shielings/structures and a possible enclosing bank were identified – it may be that the vegetation on the first visit obscured some of the features. <1>
