Situated beside the railway line at Greenmount in the paddock are three conjoined circular features, comprising external bank (av. dims. Wth 2.5m; H 0.6m), internal fosse (av. dims. Wth 2m; D 0.25m) and raised interiors (av. ext. diams.11m). Test excavation (Licence no. 06E0348) was undertaken to determine the exact nature of three conjoined ringbarrows possible barrows. Testing on the east-west axis located a ditch along the interior of the bank of one of the three conjoined circular embanked features. Its presence strongly suggests that the feature is a type of barrow and, by inference, that the other two circular features belong to the same monument typology (Lynch 2006; https://excavations.ie/report/2006/Dublin/0015328/).
