Mound

What is recorded here

In pasture, on a steep N-facing slope. A grass-covered gravel mound (dims. 11m N-S; 10m E-W; max. H 1.1m ), slightly slumped at N where it may possibly have been cut by a now levelled field boundary which ran on an E-W axis. A relatively straight line of four orthostats (max H 0.75m) possibly forms a kerb NE->ENE. A large quartz boulder has been dumped on the mound at WSW. At WNW a quartz orthostat (Wth 0.7m; T 0.2m; H 0.6m) inclines outwards. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 13 December 2012
A Neolithic burial mound, likely dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its location on a prominent slope suggests ritual or ceremonial significance, though specific archaeological details remain unrecorded.
