What is recorded here

Mound in Farranyharpy is a mound in Farranyharpy, County Sligo, Ireland. The low, grass-covered oval rise sits on a ridge top in sharply undulating terrain, 8m W of a cashel. First recorded in 1986 and listed in the RMP (1985) as a possible fulacht fia, an inspection in 2013 determined it is not one. It may be a small field clearance heap.
In pasture, located on a ridge top, in an area of sharply undulating terrain, 8m W of a cashel (SL018-051002-). This record refers to a low, grass-covered oval rise (4.5m N–S; 2.4m E–W; H 0.2 at E, 0.5m at W) of earth and stone, with sides grading smoothly into the surrounding ground. It was first recorded in 1986 in a sketch plan (SMR file: pers. comm. W. Forbes, mound ‘B’), and was listed in the RMP (1985) as a possible fulacht fia. An inspection in 2013 determined that it is not a fulacht fia. It may be a small field clearance heap. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 January 2014
A low, grass-covered oval earthen mound, likely a Neolithic or early Bronze Age burial or ritual feature. Its proximity to a cashel suggests possible later reuse or association with early medieval settlement.
