Mound

What is recorded here

In level, wet pasture. A slightly raised, circular area (diam. 19m; H. c. 0.2m) noted in 1985 (SMR file) is visible as a slight rise, the precise extent of which is now difficult to determine on the ground. Neighbouring field boundaries shown to N, E and S on the latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map have been removed. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
A Neolithic burial mound; likely dates to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its presence indicates early human settlement and ritual activity in the Kill West area, though its precise function and wider significance remain unclear due to poor preservation and lack of detailed excavation.

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