What is recorded here

Mound situated in flat poorly drained land on E bank of the River Brosna. A circular round-topped mound (diam. At summit 11m N-S; diam. At base 20m; H 3m) of earth enclosed by a wide fosse (max. Wth 13m) which was waterlogged at the time of last visit. A berm-like feature (Wth 2m) encloses the base of the mound. A shallow depression on its summit may indicate a collapsed cist-grave.
