Unlocated settlement within townland, described in the OS letters as 'Traditionalists say that there was a town at Slety, the extent of which they pretend to be able to point out, but it is very hard to depend on them, though I have no doubt that Slety was one time a village' (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, p. 13). Possibly there was an earlier settlement in the modern village of Graigue, as described by Feehan as ; The town of Graigue is esentially one long street extending for about a kilometer parallel tot he west bank of the Barrow. It has already attained a considerbale size by the mid-seventeenth century, when it ha a population of 106 families' (Feehan 1983, 387)

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.
