What is recorded here

On an E-W ridge, in wooded area. A roughly oval shaped concentration of stones and large boulders which form an irregularly shaped mound (c. 100m NW-SE by 40m E-W). These features probably formed part of the landscape design associated with Borris house. Area heavily overgrown at time of inspection by ASI (February 2007).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CW022-004
