Dermots and Granias Bed (site of)

This feature, all trace of which had been removed by 1904, stood on the lower north-eastern slopes of Slievekimalta or Keeper Hill. An account in an OS Name Book (c.1840) describes it as 'a few large stones stuck in the ground in the form of a bed.' (OS Name Book, 1904; De Valera and Ó Nualláin 1982, 98, No.6) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
