What is recorded here

Hogan (1860-61, 365) describes how, '"Grange of Kilree" was evidently in days of yore the centre of active life and busy scenes, as it still exhibits many vestiges of former importance. The "baille" or town of Kilree was approached by four roads leading from its centre to as many opposite directions'. The precise location of the settlement referred to by Hogan is unknown, though it is probably associated with the castle (KK023-047001-) which is roughly centrally located within Kilree townland.

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.
