Mound in Durrow Demesne

National Monument No. 313. No surface remains of mound described by Oliver Davies in 1942 as 'Close to the fort [OF009-006] on Sheeaun Hill, at N end of a ridge just below summit. The mound is about 2 feet high and 6yds. Across, circular, grassed, apparently composed of small stones and earth. There is no fosse, but it looks like a burial-mound. Beside it is a large limestone boulder, much weathered along the cracks, but there are no clearly artificial markings on it.' (ITA Survey 1942). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
