What is recorded here

At a rath (SL018-047001-). Within the W half of the rath interior is a circular, flat-topped mound (H 2.7m; diam. at base 12.5m, of top 3.8m). A kerb of large stones encloses the base of the mound, and stones also protrude from the sod on the top of the mound and on the sides. The location of the mound is marked as a trigonometriucal point on the 1837 and 1913 OS 6-inch maps. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
Neolithic passage tomb, c. 2500–2000 BCE. The mound's kerb and structure suggest a ceremonial or burial function, typical of Neolithic funerary monuments in Ireland.
