In pasture. In the 1930s Capt. D. B. O'Connell recorded a 'slag mount' in the townland of Churchtown (KAS). This would appear to be the same feature which he referred to as a 'curious "site"...on the lands of Mr. T. Foley of Churchtown' in a general description of 'ancient mines' (O'Connell 1939, 23). There are no visible remains of this possible monument. It is possible that what O'Connell was referring to was the remains of a limekiln which is indicated on the 1846 and 1894 OS 6-inch maps in the immediate vicinity of the 'slag mount'.
