Mound in Eochaill (bar. Árainn)

This mound came to light during the course of fieldwork on the AranLIFE Farming Project (2014-2018) (see www.aranlife.ie). It is located on the crest of a ridge in an area of rough grazing. It is subrectangular in plan (c. 5.5m N-S; c. 4m E-W; H 0.8m) and its E limits are defined by a drystone field wall that respects the mound and curves around it. There are slight traces of a hollow in its centre. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 11 December 2018
