Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This gorse-covered subcircular mound (13m E-W; 10m N-S; H 1.15m) of earth and stone has been bisected by a NW-SE running farm track (Wth 2-3m). There is a rath (CL014-015----) c. 95m to the ENE.   Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott    Date of upload: 3-10-2025
A portal dolmen; likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its survival in a challenging boggy environment and its early mapping, indicating recognition as a prehistoric feature by the 19th century.
