What is recorded here

On a slight rise in hilly pastureland in the demesne of Marblehill. This burial ground, originally circular in plan (diam. 20.3m), now consists of a kidney-shaped platform which is defined by a low bank. Its inner face is unclear but slight traces of a possible revetment are visible. The interior is uneven and a number of stones marking graves break through the sod cover. They do not follow any clear alignment.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA125-132

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
