Mound

What is recorded here

In rough grazing, on an E-facing slope. The monument, which is depicted on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as a circular mound (diam. c. 10m), has been levelled. The immediate area of the site is noticeably marshy and covered with rushes but no trace of the mound is evident. According to local information the mound was levelled many years ago, and it was known as 'Lisheen'. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
A Neolithic passage tomb, likely dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its location on a prominent slope and depiction as a circular mound suggest it was part of a broader ritual landscape, though its current state prevents detailed assessment of its significance.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
