What is recorded here

Half-hidden in rushes and bramble beside a spring-fed ditch in Rusheens West, the low D-shaped mound still smells of heat and water. Stones sit packed in black peat as if someone built a small cooking place, then let the field swallow it. A holy well and an ogham stone wait only a few metres north, tying the forgotten mound to prayer, marking and memory.

Located in rough pasture, bordering a spring-fed area of wet ground. A very low D-shaped rise (5-6m N−S; c. 4m E−W to field wall), which appears to be composed of stones in a matrix of black peaty soil. It is bordered on the straight side at E by N−S drystone field wall. It is largely concealed by a grass, rushes and brambles. A holy well (MA073-013----) and an ogham stone (MA073-012----) are located 8-10m to N. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 June 2017

Burnt mound, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. These features are associated with ritual or industrial activities, such as heat-treated stone use in cooking or hide processing, and are significant for understanding prehistoric land use and social practices.
