What is recorded here

Situated at the SW end of the Coolnatullagh valley. A C-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by substantial mound walls set within a field system (CL006-044003-) also defined by mound walls. The tops of occasional uprights are visible through the mound wall. This forms part of a farmstead, one of three prehistoric farmsteads in the valley (see also CL006-098002- and CL006-144----). Three cairns are closely associated with the farm including one that has been excavated (CL006-044001-), producing dates of 2460-2140 BC from a central cist and 1880-1610 BC from a secondary inhumation.
