On the SW slopes of Barranacullia hill and the SE slopes of Knocknagearagh hill in the Knockmealdown mountain range. This is part of a complex of enclosures (TS091-009001-; TS091-009007-; TS091-009008-; TS091-009009-; TS091-009012-), hut sites (TS091-009003-; TS091-009004-; TS091-009006-; TS091-009010-; TS091-009011-; TS091-009015-), a possible ring-cairn (TS091-009002-), clearance cairns (TS091-009005-) identified by Diarmuid O'Keeffe, 1996. There are numerous stone walls associated with these hut sites, enclosures and clearance cairns. One wall on the SW slopes of Barranacullia is visible for c. 200m running roughly N-S from a point c. 40m E of a hut site (TS091-009006-), another length of wall runs for c. 50m westward and downslope from the long wall. On a gentle E-facing slope of Knocknagearagh c. 70m SSE of a rectangular enclosure (TS091-009008-) a length a wall (Wth 2.3m; H 0.38-0.48m) forms a large curving arc (L 37.7m; chord 21.7m). O’Keeffe noted another arcing stone wall c. 220m SSE of a hut site (TS091-009004-). There is also walling possibly associated with a circular enclosure (TS091-009007-), approximately 20m NW of the NW quadrant the walling runs westward for c. 50m before turning southwestward for c. 130m and again turning eastward and then northeastward for a further c. 80m before petering out.
