Farm buildings at the clachan/close at Turloughs Hill
There are currently at least five farmhouses and associated buildings,as well as other houses grouped within the close or clachan. The pattern evolved during the Plantation period when Scottish planters were open to raids both by the dispossessed and by bandits. With "their fields" as Estyn Evans ("Mourne Country" p122) has it "scattered 'through-other'" these clachans are "like fossils from a vanished age".

Traditional cottages at Turloughs Hill, Annalong
Such cottages have largely disappeared from the Mourne landscape, their sites being eagerly sought by people who want to build a new house. The landscape is now dominated by what can only be described as palatial detached houses and bungalows.
