Sod/Straw huts: The place-name Brácaí (Ir. bráca = ‘shed or hovel’) is associated with the Bunnamohaun group of sod huts in the far west of Clare Island. A second, similar group of sod huts has been identified at Lecarrow. The relative proximity of both groups to permanent settlements suggests that they were temporary shelters for herders and milkers in the summer months rather than true ‘booley’, or summer pasture, settlements. They are likely to have fallen out of use by the middle of the nineteenth century. Both groups of huts are sited next to the heads of streams, at about the 150m (500ft) contour. The huts are oval in plan, averaging 2m x 3m in size, the thick, rounded gable walls providing the main structural support for the building.
