At the foot of a collapsed cliff face, this enigmatic feature consists of a collection of small and medium stones that appear to outline what might have been a modest rectangular building, measuring roughly 2.9 metres by 2.1 metres. The stones, now scattered and loose, hint at walls that once stood here, though time and the elements have left their mark on this lonely spot.

What makes this site particularly intriguing is what it lacks; there’s no obvious entrance, no signs of a hearth, and no clear indicators of its original purpose. The structure’s modest size suggests it wasn’t a dwelling in the traditional sense, yet its careful construction indicates it held some significance for those who built it. Could it have been a shelter for shepherds watching their flocks, a storage structure for a nearby settlement, or perhaps something with a more ceremonial purpose? The harsh mountain environment would have made this an challenging location for any permanent occupation.

Archaeological surveyor Patrick F. O’Donovan documented these remains in June 2012, noting that the site’s true nature remains frustratingly elusive. Without excavation or further investigation, this Brockagh structure keeps its secrets, standing as one of countless anonymous monuments scattered across Ireland’s wild landscapes. These humble ruins remind us that not every stone tells its story easily; some whisper their histories so quietly that even careful observation cannot fully decode their past.
