On flat-topped hill with extensive views to N and W. According to local folklore the hill, known as Bell Hill, was the location where cannons were placed to shell Bawnmadrum Castle (TN017-067) (Stout 1984, 137) and a Civil Survey reference may also relate to this 'Uppon these lands stands a fforte caste upp at the charge of the state in the yeare 1652' (Simington ed. 1931, vol.I, 8). The exact location of these fortifications is not known so the locational designation has been removed from the RMR map.

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.
