What is recorded here

Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMP (1995) and classified 'Barrack - Infantry, Possible'. The source of the reference to a 'barrack' at Collooney is unknown (see Timoney 2002). This is a rectangular field surrounded by high walls and, according to local information, was an orchard for the nearby convent. An archaeological assessment by Martin Timoney (1999) and test trenching (Conway 2000, 274; Timoney 2012) revealed nothing of archaeological significance. This walled garden is probably post-AD 1700 in date. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 7 June 2012
