Mound

What is recorded here

On SW edge of a ridge, with panoramic views from NW-NE. A roughly circular earth and stone mound (c. 25m N-S; c. 24m E-W; H on N side 4m) with a flat top (a hole has been dug into the SW corner in recent times). May possibly be a spoil heap associated with mining activity. Compiled by: Claire Breen and Chris Corlett Date of upload: 06 September 2013
Neolithic passage tomb, dating to c. 3500–2500 BCE. Its location on a prominent ridge suggests ritual or ceremonial significance, typical of Neolithic funerary monuments in the region.
