What is recorded here

Thirty metres of forgotten stone circle still holds the summit of Windmill Hill, waiting beneath grass and wind. A windmill stands inside its southern edge, turning the old burial ground into a stage for modern breath. The hill drops away on every side, forcing anyone who climbs it to see far before remembering who sleeps below.

On the summit of Windmill Hill, is a broad low circular cairn, (Diam 40m ; H 1.5m ) commanding extensive views in all directions. The cairn is grass covered and was first reported by Ó Lionáin and Davis having been identified in 2014 from lidar survey and analysis (see attachment DU021-013----_2). On the southern quadrant of the denuded cairn is a windmill (DU021-038----). Both monuments lie directly NNE of an enclosure identified by geophysical analysis (Target 2018) DU021-114----. which itself sits centrally within a ceremonial enclosure DU021-115---- . The cairn is situated off-centre within another enclosure (DU021-116----) which can be traced intermittently following the contours of the ridge on of Windmill hill, possibly representing a hillfort first reported by O’ Lionáin and Davis. Approximately 150m to the SE of the cairn, beyond both enclosing monuments, is a ring-ditch DU021- 117----. Compiled by: Margaret Keane Updated on: 29 November 2018

Burial cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its elevated position suggests ritual or symbolic significance, possibly as a territorial marker or ceremonial site.
