Smyth (1985, 121) in a discussion of 17th-century settlement in South Tipperary mentions the possibility of small agglomerated settlement at Ballinree which may have involved 'the settlement arrangements associated with the management of a single townland by a resident farmer-owner and his partners/labourers'. In the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'Water Butler of Nodstowne dece[ase]d Irish Papist' is listed as the proprietor of 'Heatstowne als Ballinree' in 1640 where there was 'a large Bawne' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 216). There is no indication of a bawn (TS053-015001-) or settlement at the former Ballinree House, where it is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. The settlement remains unlocated within the 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.
