What is recorded here

Indicated, Powerscourt Demesne is a steep-sided glacial gravel hillock in County Wicklow, Ireland, possibly tied to the medieval borough of Mulsoe's Court. Conifers now hide its level summit, but the oval shape and sudden rise still mark the ground where human hands may have shaped or defended the landscape. The trees obscure more than they reveal, forcing imagination to fill the gap between gravel, gravity and forgotten purpose.

Situated in gently undulating terrain. Oval steep-sided hillock (dims. c. 220m NW-SE; 170m NE-SW) of glacial gravel, with a level summit at the SE end (dims. c. 50m E-W; 40m N-S). It is now planted with conifers. Possibly part of the medieval borough of Mulsoe's Court (WI007-018----).
