What is recorded here

Situated on a very gentle S-facing slope in an established forestry plantation. Oval earthen mound (dims. 7m N-S; 6m E-W) in poor condition. The edge is eroded but it appears to retain its original shape (H 1.2m on the S side and 0.8m on the N side). There is a slight dip in the ground level towards the S, and the mound is flat and level. Marked on the first edition OS 6-inch map.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WI035-001
