What is recorded here

Walter Harris in the second volume of The Whole Works of Sir James Ware concerning Ireland records an ancient sepulchre somewhere in the eastern suburbs of Dublin City. This wasplaced SW by NE, which was composed of eight black marble stones of which two made the covering and was supported by the other. According to the report vast quantities of burnt coals, ashes and human bones were found in it (Borlase, 1897, II, 381). The location of this mound is unknown. It has been identified with the place known as the Styne (Halliday 1884, 153).

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