Mound in Lisheenboy

Depicted on the 1843 ed. OS 6-inch map as a small circular mound. According to local information (NMI 1934) the mound was believed to contain a cave. This tradition of a cave may be a reference to a cist (TN007-018002). Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

A small circular mound, possibly a cist-covered tomb, dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in the traditional belief in an associated cave, which may reflect local memory of a burial or ritual site.
