This record refers to a mound of uncertain significance, which was recorded by Knox (1911, 211) as follows: ‘In Cloonbullig Townland, one mile south of Ballyhaunis, a low natural mound, rising out of a marsh, with an earthen fence like a piece of rampart partly encircling it on the south side, stands in a small field called Parkacashlaun. A similar small mound [MA103-046002-] also rising out of the marsh is near it to the south-east, and is supposed to have been inhabited. On rising ground, 100m to north, part of a small castle [MA103-047----] stood within living memory. Near it is an oblong rectangular enclosure [MA103-048001-] used for haggards. The enclosing bank may be ancient; a skeleton [MA103-048002-] was found in it and re-buried. The skirt of this ground to the north is scarped in a straight line along the edge of the marsh of the Owencam, but it is a scarp of only 3 feet. About 130m to W in an angle of the Owencam is an earthen fort like a small rath [MA103-007----], 30 yards in diameter, with a scarp of 10 feet on the north side above the marsh.’
