Mound in Dysart (moyashel & Magheradernon By.)

Surveyed in 2013 and described by McGuinness (2014, 66) as following: 'This monument was described by an ASI fieldworker in 1982 as ‘an earthen mound, rectangular in shape, flat-topped, measuring 24m N-S, by 8m-10m E-W, and rising to a height of 3.5m, the surface area of the flat top is 12m by 4.5m’ [SMR file]. It was suggested from its location that it might have been a landscape feature, although it appeared more ancient than this. Its sharply rectilinear shape, as indicated in a rough sketch by same ASI fieldworker, is certainly inconsistent with prehistoric earthen burial mounds, and it is rejected as one here'.
