The formal record offers almost nothing by way of description, which places this particular site in curious company with dozens of other monuments on the mountain that resist easy categorisation. Slievemore is already an unusual landscape, one where the remains of a deserted village stretch along the lower slopes, its roofless stone houses quietly marking a community displaced by the pressures of the nineteenth century, possibly earlier. That a further structure sits somewhere on or around this mountain, distinct enough to be recorded separately, is the kind of detail that tends to get swallowed by the broader drama of the place.
