What is recorded here

A grass-covered mound of stones up to 1.25m high. It has been severely disturbed and dug into. There are possible indications of a very low surrounding bank particularly on the W side. The diameter of the whole site is c. 15m. It is situated on a small knoll in boggy terrain and has good views in all directions. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
A possible Neolithic or Bronze Age burial mound, disturbed and partially excavated. Its significance lies in its potential as a prehistoric funerary or ceremonial feature, though its exact type and date remain unclear due to damage.
