What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1924 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small mound with a pit or quarry immediately to its W. This is a flat topped and scrub-covered, subcircular earthen mound (dims. of top 5.5m N-S; 4m E-W; dims. of base 21m N-S; 18m E-W; H 2 5m). There is a quarry immediately to the W, and the church site (WX027-012001-) is c. 180m to the WSW while the holy well (WX027-013----) is 30m to the NE. It is probably a quarry spoil heap.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX027-014
