It consists of high wall built in the form of a rectangle with leant sheds on the inside . It was once used as a barrack .A man living now on the farm said it was used for storing the tithes- a likely purpose . The Battle of Carrickshock in 1832 was in connection with the collection of "Tithes"
I could find no one in the neighbourhood who kew the meaning of the term "The Territ" nor have I found the reason for the name.
