What is recorded here

Situated on the summit of the NE-SW Redmountion ridge on the S bank of the Boyne River, with a wide view over the Brú na Bóinne passage tombs. It was first identified and recorded by Paul Duffy. This is a grass-covered cairn (diam. c. 20m; H 0.4m at S to 1.8m at N) supporting four hawthorn trees, but the centre has been dug out. It may have had a trig. station (402 feet) which is no longer evident. A possible fragment of a saddle quern was recovered from the monument.
