What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in a gently undulating landscape, and at the crest of a gentle slope down to a N-S section of the River Blackwater which is c. 150m distant and c. 5m lower. This was once on the demesne of Liscartan House (ME025-009002-) c. 550m to the NNW and is in full view of Rathaldron House (ME025-11----) c. 270m to the NNE, on the other side of the river. It is depicted as a small copse on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a clump of trees on the 1908 edition. This is a grass-covered circular mound of earth and stones (diam. 23m; H 2.5m) that supports two trees. There are quarry holes on the NW side.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME025-012
