What is recorded here

Ballymacthomas holds a grass-covered mound seven metres long beside a tributary of the River Lee. It sits among faded earthen enclosures and double banks in a field that resists full drainage. The earth has been shaping itself, or remembered by people, since before the land was forced into pasture.

'Situated in a field on the immediate eastern side of a tributary of the River Lee. The portion of land on which these sites occur slopes gently westwards. The main features within the complex are earthen enclosures, small mounds, a linear earthwork and a possible barrow with portions of double banks remaining. All of these sites are partially denuded due to reclaimation, this field still being slightly marshy despite efforts to reclaim the land for the purposes of pasture.............a small mound occurs centrally within the complex. Now grass covered, this earthen mound measures 7.00m N-S by 8.00m E-W and is 0.40m in height.'
