Mound

What is recorded here

On top of a natural hillock on poorly drained land in Kilcooly demesne forest with good views in all directions. This monument is heavily planted around its perimeter by coniferous plantation. A poorly preserved mound (H 1.7m; top diam. E-W 17m x N-S 19m; base diam. E-W 25m; N-S 25m) or platform defined by a scarp. The SSE face of the mound has been quarried into and the presence of coniferous trees has caused considerable disturbance to the monument as a result it has not been possible to classify it other than as an earthwork.

A Neolithic passage tomb; poorly preserved and undated. Its location on a prominent natural hillock suggests it was chosen for its visibility and ceremonial significance in the Neolithic landscape.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
