Mound

What is recorded here

At the N edge of a small pond in a low-lying basin. Oval grass-covered earthen mound (dims 8.3m E-W; 5.8m N-S; H 1.5m). It, or the barrow (RO047-058002-) may have been disturbed in the 1950s when 'a jar with bones' was discovered at Bredagh (NMI file). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Neolithic round barrow, likely dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its significance lies in the potential human remains and artefacts, such as the recorded "jar with bones," indicating funerary practices and burial customs of early farming communities in the region.
