Identified as a possible mound barrow (diam. 11.5m; H 1m) by Melanie McQuaid, archaeologist, Forestry Service, Dept of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in 2016 during site inspection of drains and removal of forestry saplings. Described in 2016 as following; ‘The mound has been cut by one forest drain and at the time of inspection no archaeological material was evident in the drain face or the mounds created from the excavated soil’ (McQuade 2016).
