What is recorded here

Located in level pastureland at the 300 foot contour. The site comprises a circular round-topped mound (diam. 15m; H 3m). No indication of a fosse (Healy 1975, 16). The well preserved mound is situated on relatively flat land, the field sloping slightly from west to east. Views of the ridge of Fourknocks to north, Mallahow to east. Some poaching visible at top and along western base where some stone is visible. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 31 October 2014
A circular round-topped mound, possibly a Neolithic passage tomb or Bronze Age cairn; its function and wider significance remain undetermined due to lack of excavation or clear contextual evidence.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
