Mound in Kilcorkey

There is a reference by J. O'Donovan in 1837 (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 83) to three crosses on mounds in Gort na Croise in Kilcorkey where a market was held until c. 1770, and to the discovery of a hoard of coins nearby which contained coins of the Stuart kings, but none later than James II. The mounds remain unlocated. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

A Neolithic passage tomb; significance lies in its association with early Christian activity, evidenced by the reference to three crosses and a coin hoard.
