"Arch. Inventory: Fulacht Fia. In a low-lying position (26). Rath. On top of a prominent drumlin (78). Deer-park. The townland is one of hilly mixed quality pasture and bog. In 1631 the right to establish a deer-park of 1,000 acres was granted to Sir Frederick Hamilton, but it was not built until Sir William Gore, who inherited Manorhamilton through marriage with Sir Frederick’s grand-daughter Hanna, enclosed this townland of 291 acres with a wall, sometime before 1682. The deer-park confined deer for management and breeding purposes, and individual animals would be released for the hunt. The wall is reduced to its foundations throughout, often with a drystone-built wall on top (228). "
