What is recorded here

On a low rise in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a small tree-ring. An oval-shaped mound of earth and stone (dims. at base 14.5m E-W; 11m N-S; H 1.7-1.9m). The summit is flat topped (diam. 6.3m). There is no trace of an encircling bank or fosse. Probably a burial mound. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

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