What is recorded here

Mound in Lissooleen is a low earthen ridge, barely one metre high, stretched twenty-eight metres across the grass. A standing stone marks its north-western edge while a ringfort cut through its southern side, suggesting the mound existed before the fort rose around it. The sharp northern slope drops into ordinary ground, hiding the ridge from casual sight. Perhaps the ringfort builders reused the mound as a foundation or boundary marker, turning an older shape into a living part of the new settlement.

'The standing stone (KE030- 028----) marks the north-western extent of a low earthen sub-circular mound which measures 28.0m E-W by 14.5m N-S. The southern side of the site has been cut by the construction of the ringfort (KE030-029----). At its highest the mound attains a maximum height of 1.0m. This site is grass covered and slopes sharply to the surrounding ground level at north.'

A Neolithic passage tomb; partially destroyed by modern development. Its significance lies in its association with early megalithic funerary practices in the region.
