Place & story
A faint enclosure outline
Jean Farrelly’s monument record describes a roughly circular enclosure in Graigue, visible only faintly as a slightly raised area on an east-facing slope. Its recorded dimensions are sixty-seven metres north–south and seventy-one east–west. The record’s classification is an enclosure; it does not establish a precise date for its construction. [2]
Six occupied houses in 1911
The census counted forty-four inhabitants in Graigue in 1911, twenty-seven male and seventeen female, in six occupied houses. Its population had been forty-nine in 1891 and forty-eight in 1901. Its area was 576 acres, three roods and one perch. It appears in Mora parish, Middlethird barony and Graigue electoral division, within Tullamain dispensary district and Cashel Poor Law Union. [3]
