Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 386), describes the castle-mound or motte of Tullaghanbroge (KK023-032----) and associated earthworks (KK023-031001-) to the E. He goes on to say that, ‘Opposite this field, at the other side of the road from the churchyard [presumably of the medieval church of Grove] to Grange chapel [the RC church c. 1.3km to the E], is another field of great fertility, in which there is a well, probably a holy well [KK023-031002-] in former times. Close to the well is a slight mound, together with many traces of foundations, which are said to mark the site of an ancient monastery [KK023-031003-]. The part of the field lying east of this is known as “the glebe”’. This area, S of the road, is very disturbed as it was completely forested and has since been clear-felled and re-planted. There is no visible trace of a well in this field. The precise location of this well is unknown.

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.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
