What is recorded here

Indicated is a 57-metre-wide mound on Tallaght hill, still standing beside rough pasture and a nearby stone circle. It appeared on the 1843 Ordnance Survey map, meaning people recognised its shape long before modern tools measured it. Ploughing cut close to its west edge in 1995, proving the land around it remained lively and uncertain. The mound may be partly natural, but it became a landmark because people kept returning to it, marking it, and leaving it standing above the hill.

Situated in open rough pasture on top of Tallaght hill. A circular mound (diam 57m, H 9m) shown as an earthwork on the 1843 OS 6-inch map. This is a distinctive landmark on the hill and is probably partly natural. It lies close to a mound with a stone circle (DU024-028----). In 1995 ploughing on the hill skirted the W side of the monument. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 7 July 2018

A Neolithic passage tomb; possibly part natural. Its significance lies in being a prominent and early recorded earthwork feature in the Tallaght hill landscape.
