Mound in Killeenrevagh (kilmaine By.)

Mound

What is recorded here

Killeenrevagh holds a grass-covered mound about ten metres across where two large stones still protrude from the top like broken teeth. It may be a field clearance cairn built upon a natural rise, yet its uneven body and low southern berm suggest that people shaped, remembered or abandoned the place rather than merely clearing stones. The nearby enclosure waits seventy metres to the southwest, implying that this modest dome belonged to a lived landscape in which even uncertain things had a use.
Located in gently undulating average pasture. A roughly circular, grass-covered mound (diam. c. 10-12m; H 1.5m at SE), domed in profile, with a rather uneven surface and irregular appearance. It appears to be composed of earth and stones, and two large, close-set stones protrude from the top. The base of the mound spreads out for 3-4m at S–NW in a low berm-like slope. The nature of this mound is unclear. It may simply be a field clearance cairn, possibly utilising a natural rise. There is an enclosure (MA111-059----) c. 70m to SW.
