What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on top of hillock; excellent views S-NNE and moderate views NNE-S. Oval area (4m N-S; 2.5m E-W) defined by broad scarped edge (Wth 8m; H 1.9m) at E and steeper scarp (Wth 4.8m; H 1.55m) at W. Surface area of mound uneven possibly due to erosion by cattle. Current edition OS 6-inch map depicts a triangulation pillar in centre, but this has been relocated to SSW of monument. Hillock named 'Knockseefin' on current edition OS 6-inch map. According to local information hillock known as 'Cnoc Shee Bhín'. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 6 December 2013
Neolithic passage tomb, c. 3500–2500 BCE. Its construction and positioning suggest it was part of a broader ceremonial landscape, typical of early farming communities in Ireland.
