Why this matters

A Neolithic circular mound; wider significance not recorded.

What is recorded here

Situated on a N-facing slope in grassland that falls south to the Broadmeadow river. This was a circular mound (diam. 16m; H 2.5m) with a lone bush on the top. A cross was erected on the mound in modern times (Healy 1975, 22). Mound has been quarried /cut away to north-east and there is some evidence for poaching. Mound topped with a lone bush and an ESB pole (inserted post-1992). Terraced to east and south-some stones visible (c.5m width, 1m H.).
