What is recorded here

Mound in Drangan Beg is a mound in Drangan Beg, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is a very large, long mound aligned east-west, with a basal width of 73 metres north-south and length of 127 metres east-west, and a flat top measuring 11 metres north-south by 44 metres east-west, rising 6 metres high. The mound, truncated along its south side, is composed of clay with some gravel visible in the upper portion. While it appears natural, its use for burials, habitation or defence cannot be discounted, making it a possible archaeological monument.
