What is recorded here

Located on the N-facing crest of the summit of a prominent hill known as Slieve Gullion. Two small barrows are visible on Google Earth from 2009 but are most clearly visible on the most recent (16/03/2021). This feature appears to be complete as a grass-covered platform (diam. c. 5m) defined by ditch or fosse (ext. diam. c. 10m). The features are also visible on MapGenie imagery (2005-12; 2013-18), Digital Globe (2011-13) and Apple Maps, and were first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
