In rough pasture on lower W slopes of Brandon mountain. The remains of 2 or 3 huts and a souterrain (KE034-063001-) located within a roughly circular enclosure (KE034-063004-), 19.2 to 18m in diameter internally, probably defined by a stone wall which is now only barely discernible. A field wall bisects the enclosure N-S, kinking W at the centre to run on top of the W wall of the easternmost of 2 conjoined huts. The W hut KE034-063----, 5.2 to 6.5m in diameter, is reduced to a spread of collapse with only a short section of the wall still traceable. Abutting its W side is another spread of collapse of uncertain origin. The E hut, 4.1m in diameter internally, is defined to W by the field wall, the lower courses of which belong to the original hut wall. The E half of the wall appears to have been removed, but its outline is indicated by a stone and earth bank which appears to have been piled up against the outer wall face to prevent surface water from entering the hut. A gap in this bank may represent the original entrance. Under the floor of the hut, and extending under its S wall, is a souterrain consisting of a short N-S passage, with a semi-circular chamber opening off its S end, at right angles to the line of the passage. Both sections are constructed of drystone masonry and are roofed by a series of slabs. Access is gained by the removal of one of the slabs roofing the passage, but the original entrance was at the N end of the passage where it is now obscured by fill. The passage is 2.6m long, .8m wide and 1.15m high. The entrance to the chamber is formed by 2 jamb stones which project .15m out from the side walls. These are overlain by 2 lintels which are separated from each other by a gap of 6 to 10cm. A similar entrance can be seen in a souterrain at Kilcooly (KE033-016004-). A low sill stone forms a step down into the chamber about .2m beyond the entrance. The chamber, now waterlogged, is c. 3.5m long, 1.7m wide and 1.6m high. Its N wall is nearly straight, but its S wall is curved. An air-vent extends W for over 2m from the W end of the chamber, just below roof level. A rectangular whetstone was found on the floor of the passage (P. Healy 1979, unpublished report). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne.

A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
