What is recorded here

Circular, flat-topped and grass-covered mound (diam. of top 10m; diam. of base 27m; H 3.5-5m) with some trees defined by the remains of a fosse (at WNW: Wth c. 6m; ext. D 0.5m). It may be the mound described by Hartnett (PRIA 1957, 263) as being in Raholland, which is the next townland to the W.
