In the Civil Survey (1654-6) Currenstown townland is described as 'Ballycurreene' and in among the proprietors in 1640 is listed 'Henry Mocler of Ballycurreene gent.' upon whose land 'stands the walls of a house' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 312). It was speculated that this house might be 'Currenstown House' as depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map. However, Currenstown House appears to be of 19th-century date and does not appear to incorporate any earlier features. The house referred to in the Civil Survey is 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.
