Indicated

On the summit of Gallows Hill. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). This was inspected by the National Museum of Ireland in November 1975 and described as a small barrow-like mound which proved to be a fairly modern (landscaping) feature (Ryan 1975-6). The small mound had been raised on the site of a cemetery of extended, unaccompanied single burials (KK019-034----) of unknown date (ibid.). Disarticulated bones (KK019-105001-) derived from the surrounding graves were incorporated in the material of the mound (ibid.). Other burials (KK019-034----) had been found in the sand pit c. 130m to the E in 1969. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 October 2020
