What is recorded here

Situated on very slight E-facing slope in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.6m) with a fosse (Wth 3.6m) and a substantial external earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.65m). A break in the external bank (Wth 4m), with a corresponding causeway across the fosse, at E marks the position of the original entrance. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
Neolithic passage tomb, c. 3500–2500 BCE. Its construction features, including a fosse and external bank, reflect early communal burial and ritual practices in the Irish Neolithic.
