The deserted settlement lies on the foothills of Mount Slievemore, straddling the 70 metre contour, and consists of three distinct groups of houses linked by a pathway. These three groups of houses are referred to as Tuar, Tuar Riabhac and Faiche, although the names are toponyms that post-date the abandonment of the settlement and refer to different types of grazing to be found amongst the ruins. In total, the village stretches from east to west for about 1.5km. In the first edition Ordinance Survey of 1838, 137 houses were recorded, of which traces of 74 houses can still be made out. The buildings are of dry stone construction and the walls often survive up to their original height. Over 90 per cent of the houses are aligned north-south, at right angles to the street. A majority of the houses at Slievemore were one-roomed cabins called byre houses, where livestock were kept at one end during the winter, separated from the humans at the other end by a small channel. This type of dwelling was the prototype of the classic three-roomed house that can still be seen in most Achill villages. Between 1991 and 2013 the AAFS excavated three houses in the village, House 36 (1991-2003), House 26 (2004-9) and <a href=\"\/research-excavations\/slievemore-house-6\/\">House 6<\/a> (2013).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4dacbb6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4dacbb6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5f3831b\" data-id=\"5f3831b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2470d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d2470d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/achill-fieldschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cottages_at_slievemore.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7788\" alt=\"Houses at Slievemore\" srcset=\"https:\/\/achill-fieldschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cottages_at_slievemore.jpg 960w, https:\/\/achill-fieldschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cottages_at_slievemore-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/achill-fieldschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cottages_at_slievemore-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/achill-fieldschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cottages_at_slievemore-930x620.jpg 930w, https:\/\/achill-fieldschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/cottages_at_slievemore-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Houses at Slievemore<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-afc1244 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"afc1244\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-249ff1b\" data-id=\"249ff1b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-188dd32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"188dd32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/achill-fieldschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/plan_house_36.gif\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7792\" alt=\"Plan of House 36 (McDonald 1998, 14)\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Plan of House 36 (McDonald 1998, 14)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ea6c859 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ea6c859\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-28a4718\" data-id=\"28a4718\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90e4eca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90e4eca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Read More:<\/b><\/p><ul><li>McDonald, T. 1990.
