What is recorded here

Earthwork described in 1943 as following; 'This monument consists of a slight mound situated on the edge of a marsh. On top of it and in its centre, is a very slightly raised circular platform. This is surrounded by a slight fosse in which there is a break on the north-west side. The platform is flat on top. Its overall diameter is 24' [7.3m]. The overall diameter of the whole monument is 90' [27m]. There is no other monument quite like this, but it seems to fit best with the A group' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 183). The outline of the monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 27 February 2020
