Mound in Inis Oírr

This mound came to light during the course of fieldwork on the AranLIFE Farming Project (2014-2018) (see www.aranlife.ie). It is located in the south half of the island on a SW-facing slope. The large grass-covered mound (18m NE-SW; 13m NW-SE; H 2m) is oval shaped in plan and slopes from N to S. It has a central hollow orientated NE-SW. Traces of stone revetting are visible along the inner face at E. A possible field wall extends off it at NE running in a north-easterly direction.
