Mound

What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a gentle W-facing slope, immediately to SW of a cashel (SL018-051002-) in an area of uneven, disturbed ground traversed by remnants of a field sytem (SL018-051009-). A small, grass-covered subcircular rise (diam. 2.5-3m; H 0.3m) composed of earth and stone. It's function is unclear. It may be an isolated section of the ruined field boundary which lies adjacent and extends to SE, or, it may be a field clearance heap. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 28 January 2014
Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the earlier part of the Neolithic period in Ireland (c. 3700–2500 BCE). Its location near a cashel and within a field system suggests it is part of a broader prehistoric landscape of settlement and ritual activity.
