Mound

What is recorded here

In pasture, situated a gentle E-facing slope of a N–S ridge, c.20m SE of a rath (SL012-044001-). Slightly raised, flat-topped, circular platform (diam. 9m; H 0.2m at E, 0.8m at W) constructed of earth and stone, which slopes gently from W to E. Field boundaries which lay adjacent to the mound at E and S have been removed. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
Neolithic mound or cairn, possibly a ceremonial or funerary earthwork. Its proximity to a rath and construction of earth and stone suggest a long-standing landscape of settlement and ritual use.
