What is recorded here

Situated on a low knoll in reclaimed pasture. Described in the OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1928, vol. 1, 34) as a caher within which was a souterrain. Westropp (1899, 381) noted that the ‘caher of Turlough “uamhainn na Turlaige” has been destroyed since before 1839’. A souterrain (CL006-15002-) is still extant. There are no visible remains of the enclosure at ground level. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 29 March 2017

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
