Mound in Coolnaha South

In pasture, located on the E edge of a rise, in an area of undulating grassland with an expanse of wet land to NE. Views are good but not extensive. Roughly circular mound (diam. 6.6m NW–SE; H 0.6m at NW, 0.8m at SE) of earth and stones. The top of the mound at NW–N is defined by a slightly raised rim; some of this may be an accumulation of field clearance stones. Loose stone is scattered generally over the surface of the mound. The mound is lowest and somewhat degraded at SSW, and is thickly covered in hawthorn and brambles. An embanked barrow (MA093-012001-) is located slightly upslope c. 20m to W.
