Mound in Carrigans Upper

Not included in the SMR (1989) but listed in the RMR (1995) and classified 'Mound'. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. In wet pasture, on a slight E-facing slope and to S of the junction between two small fields (SL033-095001-, SL033-095002-). A flat-topped oval mound (6m N-S; 10m E-W; H 0.6m) enclosed by a drain (D 0.15m) which is an extension of that enclosing the two adjacent fields to N.The function of the mound is unknown and the field archaeologist considered it and the adjacent fields to be post-medieval in date. This is likely to be post-1700 AD in date. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC Date of upload: 04 January 2012
