On the lower western slopes of the Monavullagh Mountains in County Waterford, the stone foundations of a booley hut survive in rough pasture along the upper Araglin river valley. Small, functional, and easy to overlook, the structure measures just 3.5 metres by 3.1 metres, which gives some sense of the life it once supported. A booley hut was a seasonal shelter used during booleying, the Irish practice of moving cattle to upland summer grazing, with herders, often young people, living temporarily on the high ground while the lower fields recovered. These structures were rarely built to last beyond a season or two, which makes the survival of even a stone foundation worth noting.

A second set of stone foundations, similarly modest in scale, lies roughly 40 metres to the southwest, suggesting this was not a lone outpost but part of a small cluster of activity on the valley floor. The site sits within a northeast-to-southwest oriented valley carved by the upper Araglin river, a landscape that would have offered reasonable shelter and access to water for both people and animals during the summer months. The area around Coumaraglinmountain has been recognised as significant enough to be designated a national monument complex under a Preservation Order dating from 1996, placing these unassuming foundations within a broader archaeological landscape rather than treating them as isolated curiosities.
