Situated in landscaped garden to immediate rear of Tudenham Park, c. 250m to E of Lough Ennell. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a small circular-shaped feature in the centre of a rectangular-shaped sunken garden. A second similar feature is depicted on this map, c. 55m to NE, a third feature lies c. 400m to SW. A fourth similar feature is depicted c. 550m to NE and forms part of the designed landscape of Belvidere House. Monument described in 1978 as a roughly circular-shaped man-made mound of earth and stone (overall diam. 12m). The mound has fairly steep sides (H. c. 1.75m) and a perfectly level flat top with a single tree planted on it. This monument has a fresh and relatively unweathered appearance and for this reason and its location, is likely to be part of a designed landscape associated with Tudenahm Park (formerly Rochfort House) than an earlier antiquity.
