What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a flat, level, low-lying landscape. Overgrown earthen mound (diam. of base c. 14.5m; H 0.7-1.5m) with a flat-topped, kidney-shaped summit (dims 10.5m N-S; 6.8-10.2m E-W). Rath (RO007-023----) is c. 180m to the NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the earlier part of the Neolithic period in Ireland (c. 4000–2500 BCE). Its kidney-shaped flat-topped form is characteristic of later Neolithic mounds, and its presence in a low-lying area suggests it may have been part of a broader ritual or funerary landscape.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
