Moats, Hachured

Located in tillage on the northern slope of a saddle-backed ridge, to the south of a townland boundary. Extenive views. A circular, slightly round-topped mound (diam 9.5m; H 1.25) formerly encircled by a fosse (Hartnett 1957, 267). Partially overgrown by gorse and appears to have been clipped at the base by machinery along western edge. Considered to be part of an extensive barrow cemetery identified by Keeling (1983, 70, Site I).

A hachured mound of the Bronze Age; possibly a ritual or funerary monument. Its location and form suggest a ceremonial or territorial significance in the landscape.
