What is recorded here

Situated in a prominent position on a hillock by the roadside west of Balrothery village. It is a roughly circular, flattish topped mound (diam. 14m; max. H 2m). The monument had been eroded by cattle along the E and on the top (Healy 1975, 17). Has been left under rough grass which extends downwards to the field limits to south and west forming a buffer- remainder of the field arable.

A roughly circular, flattish-topped earthen mound, likely dating to the Early Christian or medieval period; its prominence suggests it may have had a ceremonial or funerary function, though specific significance remains unclear.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
