Mound

What is recorded here

Half a metre of grass and memory on the Ogulla bank, a D-shaped platform with a small cairn at its heart. People built that edge straight and left it standing while valleys changed around it. Walk past the river bend and the mound still holds its shape, waiting for hands to remember what it marked.
On the S bank of a W-E section of Ogulla River in an E-W valley at the N end of field system (RO028-016003-). D-shaped grass-covered platform (dims 15.5m NNE-SSW; 14m WNW-ESE; H 0.3-0.5m) with straight edges at W and N. There is a grass-covered cairn (dims 5.1m WNW-ESE; 4.5m NNE-SSW; H 0.2-0.3m) at the centre. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
