Situated on the summit of Temple Hill with commanding views of SE Limerick, N Cork and much of S Tipperary. Listed as Knocknascrow 5 (Costello 2016, 309). Roughly circular drystone-walled shelter (ext. dims. 2.7m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.6m; T 0.6m) built into SE side of massive cairn (LI058-001----) which is open to the S , although its E wall extends slightly further S so as to act as a windbreak. Possibly a shelter for shepherds (Costello 2020, 116) or for OS workers when constructing Trig. Station marking OD 2570 ft. on top of cairn on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map.
