Mound in Coogue North

In grazing pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain. This possible barrow is not shown on any edition of the OS maps. The remains consist of a low, circular platform (diam. 6m; H 0.3-0.4m) with a hint of a raised outer rim. It appears to be primarily earthen in composition. A single hawthorn bush grows at the SSE edge of the platform, at the base of which is a concentration of small, angular stones, most likely field clearance. An embanked barrow (MA092-005----) located c. 250m to W is visible from this site, and c. 300m to NNW there is a ringbarrow (MA092-006----).

Possible Neolithic or Bronze Age barrow; its low circular platform suggests a funerary or ceremonial function. The lack of cartographic record and minimal remains indicate it may be an unrecorded or degraded burial monument of prehistoric significance.
