  Situated on a NW-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area overlooking Lough Derg. Only the S angle of a poorly preserved tower house survives with no features visible. The SE and SW wall returns survive approx. 2m in length and 6m high. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

• TN019-055 Burial mound
  Description

  Situated on the S shoreline of Lough Derg with Townlough Castle (TN019-018----) 200m to S. Low elongated tree-covered mound of earth and stones known locally as the 'Fairy Clump' or 'Fairy Mound' (pers. comm. Derek Ryan) and visible today as a grove of trees on Digital Globe aerial imagery. Depicted as a grove of trees and not as an antiquity on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. It has been suggested that this earthwork may be the burial mound from which the townland Tuaim Locha (Townlough) was named (pers. comm. Derek Ryan; www.logainm.ie) See attached photographs taken by Derek Ryan Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Derek Ryan Date of upload: 18 March 2020
