Corheen

Mound

What is recorded here

Located c. 20m to NW of an ecclesiastical enclosure (MA082-035004-) known as Disert Bibar. This monument is not shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1916 edition as a small circular hachured feature (diam. 12-15m), named 'Corheen'. When inspected in 1988, it consisted of a low, roughly oval, flat-topped mound (17m E–W; 13m N–S), which appeared more likely to be a platform for a house or structure, rather than a burial mound (SMR file: OPW field notes 1988). It has been destroyed; a commercial motor garage overlies the location. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 December 2021

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.
