What is recorded here

Burial mound in Ballaghkeeran Little is a burial mound in Ballaghkeeran Little, County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated in a small field on the east shore of Ballaghkeeran Bay in Killinure Lough at the southeast end of Lough Ree, the monument was described in 1978 as a low circular mound of earth. A possible promontory fort lies approximately thirty-five metres to the north. Mr Olav Johansen suggested during a site visit that this may represent a Viking burial, though confirmation would require further investigation such as geophysics or excavation.
