What is recorded here

A large property amounting to 1260 acres in Balliduffe, Ballinturnor, Monfine, Culcleirre & Tomgarrow was the inheritance of Breine McDnaiel O'Breine Lisagh McMorogho Breine and Sir Morgan Kavanagh in 1641 and on the property was a stone house, two mills and two weirs (Simington 1953, 278). The Down Survey (1656-58) barony map shows two houses on this property, one at the N which is at Mountfin (WX015-054----) and one at the S extremity which must be in Tomgarrow townland.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
