Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as a D-shaped feature (dim. c. 30m NW-SE) truncated by a NW-SE field bank at SW on the 1914 ed. Situated on a steep NW-facing slope and described as a slight arc of a bank (Gannon 1972) which is no longer visible in improved pasture. It was probably a rath.

H 1.1m at S to 2.2m at W) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.1m) NE-SE, and a complete fosse (Wth of top 2.3-8.5m; Wth of base 2.2-3.3m; D 0.9-1.1m) which has been extended into a pond at NW. There is no identifiable original entrance, and the fosse (Wth of top 3.8m; Wth of base 1.9m; D to W 0.1m; D to E 1.2m) alone separates it from rath (RO023-014002-) which is immediately to the E.

Towards the top of a steep NW-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 30m N-S; 26.7m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.3-4.5m; int. H 0.4m generally to 0.9m at E; ext.

On a steep NE-facing slope at the E end of an E-W drumlin ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 33.8m E-W; 30.9m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.2-4.5m; int. H 0.4-0.9m; ext.

Marked as a structure on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the NE edge of a karst limestone outcrop which is at the top of Cregga Hill. It is traditionally regarded as the site of a Mac Dermot Roe castle, although it is more likely to be O'Conor Roe (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 217). A rectangular structure (int. dims 8.3m N-S; 3.8m N-S; H 2.6m) is excavated in a rock face, with a destroyed fireplace (Wth 1.8m) and flue in the masonry face of the W wall. There is a blocked doorway (Wth 0.9m) towards the E end of the N wall with a cupboard (Wth 0.9m; D 0.4m; H 1.2m) beside it. A masonry vault is built overhead (H c. 4m) with a window under the vault in the E wall and a doorway (Wth 0.8m; H 1.6m) under the vault in its W wall (T 1.3m plus). This doorway leads onto the top of the outcrop but there is no evidence of further floors. The building was converted into a coach house when a large flat-arched doorway (Wth 2.15m; H 3.15m) with an external rebate was inserted into the E wall. House (RO023-200002-) is c. 100m to the E. (Kennedy 2000) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO023-200002: House - 16th/17th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO023-200002-. On the E-facing slope of Cregga Hill. Cregga was acquired by McDermot Roe in 1661 (Kennedy 2000, 80-1) and the house may have been built thereafter. Cregga House is depicted as an occupied U-shaped building with two wings extending to the SW on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The SW wing survives as a vaulted chamber (int. dims 5.5m NE-SW; 3m NW-SE; H 2.2m) which had an upper floor. It communicated by a doorway (Wth 1.23m; H 1.6m) in its NE wall with the rest of the house which is now represented by a grass-covered mound (dims c. 25m NE-SW; c. 5.5m NW-SE; max. H 1.5m). Three rooms and a passageway (Wth 2.3m) leading through the house to a yard (dims 12m NE-SW; 5m NW-SE) between the wings can be identified in the mound. The NW wing, which survives as a featureless NW gable and a SW wall (Wth 0.6m; H 1.8m) with one window, appears to be later than the rest of the structure. An underground store (int. dims 3.3m ENE-WSW; 1.2m NNW-SSE; H 0.9m) with a corbelled roof is no longer visible. Dovecote (RO023-201----) is c. 20m to the SSE, and tower house (RO023-200001-) is c. 100m to the W. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

On the E-facing slope of Cregga Hill and c. 20m SSE of Cregga House (RO023-200002-). This is a rectangular two-storey structure (ext. dims 3.6m NE-SW; 3.6m NW-SE; int. dims 2.2m x 2.2m) which has a barrel-vault roof, two windows, and a doorway (Wth 0.62, H 1.64m) in the NW wall. The first floor is inaccessible but has a window in the NW wall and alcoves for roosts. There are gables on the NE and SW walls.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. 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.
