What is recorded here

Mound in Greenhills (newbridge Rural Ed) is a low, grass-covered circular mound on the west edge of a short ridge, overlooking the River Liffey. It contains layers of sod, sand and clay, with seven medieval red-ware sherds recovered from its old ground surface. A second similar mound lies nearby, suggesting the ridge once marked a lived or watched boundary rather than empty field.

In trees at the W edge of a short N-S ridge with a steep slope immediately to the W, and overlooking the River Liffey some 400m to the SW. A low, grass covered, circular mound (diam. 10m; H. 1.4m) was archaeologically excavated in advance of the proposed construction of the Kilcullen Link Motorway Scheme (Keeley 1991, 170-1). The stratigraphy consisted of layers of sod, sand and clay, with old ground surface visible as a band of greyish decayed sod and humic soil. Seven sherds of ceramic were recovered from a depression on the old ground surface: a well-fired red ware with traces of a green mottled glaze on the outer surface, medieval in date. A very similar looking mound (KD023-033----) lies c. 140m to the SE Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 30 May 2012

Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the early to middle Neolithic period (c. 3700–3000 BCE). Its location overlooking the River Liffey suggests it may have had ritual or ceremonial significance within the broader landscape.
