Teach Alluis

On the WSW slopes of Slieve Foye. Marked 'Sweat Ho.' on the 1:2500 OS map (surveyed 1907). All that remained when inspected in 1965 (ASI field notes) were the foundations of a small oval built structure (int. dims. 1.7m E-W; 1.35m N-S) with a narrow entrance (Wth 0.35m) at the SW.

Linked to Saint Alluis, a lesser-known early Irish saint associated with healing and spiritual protection. The site's former designation as a "Sweat House" suggests it may have been used for ritual purification or cure of ailments, possibly involving water and heat, a tradition found in various holy well practices across Ireland.
