On an E-facing slope NE of Knocknanuss mountain in the Galty mountain range. On a raised platform, the E side of which was built-up (H 1.6m) to provide a level surface for the hut site. An oval structure (int. dims. 5m N-S; 9m E-W) with walls (T 0.85) of collapsed red sandstone. A small rectangular stone structure (dims. c. 2.4m) lies immediately SE of hut site.

- TS073-039: Hut site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS073-039----. Possible rectangular hut site (ext. dims. 7.4m x 4.2m) located in a small, triangular patch of cultivation ridges which run downslope in an E-W direction. Listed as Dromleagh 4 (Costello 2016, 96; Costello 2016, 299) and described as a roughly rectangular spread of stones, aligned E-W, on a gentle grassy slope. A possible internal wall noted 2.3m from its E end suggests that it may be a collapsed hut. To the S of the structure are two clearance cairns, containing stones picked from the ridges. A gently-curving bank and ditch runs above the cultivation ridges, presumably to channel surface water away from whatever crop(s) used to grow on the ridges (Costello 2020, 126).

- TS074-022: House - indeterminate date, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CTS074-022----. On a N slope of Lough Curra, on a forestry line. A stream which feds into the Clydagh river flows in a deep gully c. 5m to the E. A rectangular structure with rounded-angles (int. dims. 6.1m N-S; 3.3m E-W), built of dry-stone walling (Wth 0.65-0.7m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) of red sandstone which is overgrown with grass and moss. The W wall, NW angle and N wall are the best preserved with an entrance (Wth 3.1m) in the centre of the E wall. The S gable has collapsed and there is a sheep gap mid-way along the S wall. A trackway (Wth 1.7m) runs NW-SE to the edge of the gully, past the SW angle of the house. The house may have been used for booleying, it is similar in plan and location to a booley hut on the Limerick side of the Galtees (Danaher 1945, JRSAI, vol. 75).

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.
