The National Monuments Service's description
Visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: BDK 39-42) from the 1970s, but not marked on any maps unless it is the collection of structures at the S end of what is depicted as church land between Dundonnel and Knock to the W and Tullaghan (Turloughmore ?) and Beagh (Taghmaconnel?) to the E on the Strafford map of c. 1636. Shraduffe was described as part of Teagh macConnell, and 114 acres there were owned by the Bishop of Clonfert in 1641 and the 1660s (Simington 1949, 103, Athlone).
The settlement is situated in a fairly level landscape. A N-S strip (dims c. 180m N-S; c. 35-45m E-W) contained the foundations of c. 10 stone-built houses on either side of a street with a lime-kiln at the centre. It covered an area of about 2 acres (c. 0.75 ha), but it is not visible now at ground level in pasture.
