Called a castle and the chapel of Mullaghnashee by O'Donovan in 1837 (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 50), the name has become attached and it is known locally as 'the Steeple', although there is no evidence of either structure. Known as Sídh Neannta it was one of the landmarks on the bounds of Uí Maine (O'Donovan 1843, 5). It is associated with the O'Hanley family, and it may have been an inauguration site for them. Situated at the summit of Fairymount Hill. D-shaped, grass-covered earthen mound with a gently domed summit (dims of top 13m E-W; 9m N-S; dims of base 28.2m E-W; 21.6m N-S; H 2.6-3m). A N-S field bank and drain clip the E edge of the mound and an E-W field bank with a drain on its N side truncates the mound towards the perimeter at S. Given its prominent location and its size, it might contain a passage tomb. Some cut stone, including two fragments of an inscription (RO036-013003-), probably from a graveslab or a cross, mention Eilis and Peter Hanley. Barrow (RO036-014----) is c. 110m to the SE..

D 0.1-0.5m; ext. H 0.1-0.2m). A field drain and outer bank curve around the platform at E, re-cutting the fosse NE-SE. There are four mature deciduous trees on the perimeter SE-S. A small oval enclosure (RO036-025002-) (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 15m E-W), marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as attached to the SSE, cannot be seen now.

Located towards the bottom of the SW-facing slope of a hill on what was once demesne land of Fairymount Castle, which was c. 250m to the NNE.

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.
