Indicated

On a hilltop, in pasture, with panoramic views in all directions. A low, sub-circular mound (H. 1m at W-1.5m at N and E; base diams. 10.5m E-W; 9.9m N-S; summit diam. 4.3m E-W; 3.3m N-S) is composed of earth and stone. An iron Trigonometrical Station, revetted by earthfast stones, is embedded on the surface, and the height (OD 594 feet) is recorded on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. The monument may have been a pre-existing mound modified for that purpose. Traces of a fosse and possible external bank are visible on Digital Globe aerial photography suggesting that this mound may be the remains of a bowl-barrow. This burial mound or barrow is annotated 'Moat' on Longfield's 1809 map of part of Oldkilcullen (NLI MS. 21 F. 34(28)). On this map it is depicted as a small mound standing immediately south of a road annotated 'Green Road called Drawwell Lane'.
