The National Monuments Service's description
There is a reference (Loeber 1991 map) to a pre-1596 settlement. It is not mentioned by Cronin (1980) unless it is Killenoman, lost by Edward White to Irish rebels before 1596 (P 118). It is not marked on the Strafford map of c. 1636 (Simington 1949, Ballintubber C). Also two houses and buildings are marked on a 1777 estate map (RO040-045----) at Killeenboy, which could be the same settlement. It was not encountered.
