What is recorded here

Situated in an undulating landscape. It was described in 1987 (SMR file) as a subcircular mound (diam. c. 15m; H 1.8-2m). Archaeological testing (00E0528) just to the NW produced no related material (excavations.ie 2000:747), and it is noted that the mound is at the S edge of an area that was extensively quarried but is now grass-covered (Russell 2000). It is therefore quite possible that the mound might result from clearing the topsoil from the quarried area.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME012-044
