Burial mound in Ballygeale — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

No visible burial mound remains in Ballygeale, County Limerick, though an 1897 map showed a flat-topped circle about eight metres wide beside a stream. The land has given back little of itself, perhaps only a faint rise under grass and memory. What is buried there has stopped answering questions, which makes the quiet field both ordinary and unbearable.

In undulating pasture on N bank of a stream, with moderate to good views i all directions. No surface remains visible. Depicted as a raised circular shaped flat-topped mound (approx. diam. 8m) on the 1897 OS 25-inch map. Site inspection carried out in 2000 recorded a slight rise in the field where the monument is marked on OS 6-inch map. No visible trace of monument on the Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013. Possible site of burial mound. See attached Google earth orthoimages Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 9 July 2020

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
