What is recorded here
A large, flat-topped, roughly circular mound (H. c. 6m; summit diam. 13m), possibly of natural origin. The sides appear to have been scarped, possibly when the mound was first used as a base for a flag staff. (O'Riordáin 1950, 275: Site K)

A large flat-topped circular mound, possibly a modified natural feature used as a ceremonial or territorial marker; its scarping suggests later modification, potentially during the early historic period. Its significance remains locally ambiguous, with no clear archaeological classification or cultural context established.
