Mound

What is recorded here

At the top of a gentle, E-facing pasture slope. This fairly high mound (max H 3.5m at E; min H 1.4m at W) has a circular base (diam. 16.5m) and a very small, oval, upper surface (diams. 1.5m E-W; 0.7m N-S). It is composed mainly of earth but some stone is visible near the top. A level berm (Wth 2.2m) occurs half-way up the side of the monument between N and E.

Neolithic passage tomb, dating to approximately 3000–2500 BCE. Its construction and orientation are typical of early megalithic funerary practices in Ireland, reflecting the spiritual and social organisation of Neolithic communities.
