What is recorded here

On the summit of Ballykane Hill (OD 398 feet). An archaeological excavation (Excavation Licence no. 04E1318) carried out in 2004 confirmed the site as a previously unrecorded ring-barrow, comprising a central mound surrounded by a ditch and an external bank, with an entrance to the southwest. The maximum external diameter of the site was 22m north-south. Finds included worked flints, copper-alloy fragments, unburnt and cremated animal bone and cremated human bone.
