What is recorded here

In level pasture, located c. 10m W of a rocky shore. According to local information (pers. comm. Paddy Tuffy, 2013), this monument was traditionally known as ‘the woman’s grave’. It consisted of a low oblong, grass-covered rise (c. 4-5m NE-SW, c. 2-3m NW-SE; H c. 0.4-5m) surrounded by a shallow depression or ditch (Wth c. 0.5m). There was a stone slab set on edge at its SE end. In the early 2000’s the mound was levelled during reseeding of the field. No surface trace.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL016-089
