What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise, in undulating pasture, c. 20m to SW of a townland boundary. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 15m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE). Monument described in 1980 as a small high steep-sided circular-shaped flat-topped mound (H 3-4m) of earth and stone. The summit is fairly flat and the monument is overgrown with impenetrable vegetation, which prevented a detailed inspection. There is no definite trace of an external fosse around the base of the mound. A field fence flanks the base of the earthwork to NW. The classification of this monument is uncertain and may be the remains of a small motte or possible burial mound. Monument is visible today as a tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 07 November 2019
