Mound in Dooncaha, County Limerick

What is recorded here

In pasture, on the steep S-facing slope of a hill. The monument, which is depicted as an oval mound (c. 15m SW-NE; c. 10m NW-SE) on the 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. The only evident trace of the mound is the short arc of a scarped edge (H 1m; Wth 3.55m) running SE->SSE, which is truncated at its SSE end by a field boundary.
