Mound

What is recorded here

Immediately S of a public road running roughly NE-SW, in pasture. A large roughly circular grass-covered mound (diam. c. 60m) identified on an aerial photograph (GSI S479, 1973-7) with some small quarrying into the SE quadrant. Though this may be a natural mound it possible that it was used as a burial mound. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 9 July 2020
Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its size and location suggest it was a significant communal burial and ceremonial site in the prehistoric landscape.
