What is recorded here

Mound in Poulnabrucky is a subcircular earth and gravel mound, 5-6m across, rising 1.5m to the SE and falling to 0.6m to the N on flat limestone pavement in County Clare. Badgers have burrowed it heavily, and a hawthorn tree grows from its SE side within an extensive multiperiod field system. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a boundary between fields and memory, but no human name or date remains attached to it.
