Indicated

On top of a small hill in the grounds of Beechhill House, in rolling grass and arable land. It is the highest point in the area, very good views. It is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a small roughly rectangular tree plantation (dims. c. 95m NW-SW; c. 75m NE-SW) bounded along the N side by a townland and barony boundary and along the E side by a road. On the 1900 OS 6-inch map revision it is indicated as a roughly D-shaped platform (dims. NE-SW c. 58m; NW-SE 41m at N, tapering to 30m at S) defined by hachures, with a steeper drop along the E side. An aerial photograph (CUCAP BOD 8) shows that the monument had been levelled by 1973. It is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 6 February 2018
