GLENASMOLE ROADSThis farmhouse is the highest dwelling in Ireland.To the north of Seahan lies a long ridge which comprises the ratherinconspicuous summits of Ballymorefinn Hill and Carrigeenowraand which terminates in the steep little hill namedSlievenabawnoge. Just below the summit of Carrigeenowra thereis a small ring fort with a low bank of soil and stones which isknown locally as the Dane’s Grave. It is very high up for apermanent dwelling and may have been built as a shelter orbooley for those who stayed on the mountain with the stockduring the summer months.BallinascorneyA short way further, and on the Ballinascorney side of the ridge, isa small ring barrow which would have been formed to mark theposition of a prehistoric burial. It has a low mound in the centrewhich has been partly dug out.The top of Slievenabawnoge is also marked by a low grassymound with a hollow in the centre. Directly below this hill isBallinascorney Gap, at the top of which is a massive stone crosswhich was erected about the middle of the nineteenth century.60
