What is recorded here

On a rise towards the top of the SE-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. Circular grass-covered mound (diam. 10m; H 1m) with old trenches (Wth 2m) through it, dividing it into quarters. Locally known as the Four Hills, there is a tradition that it is the burial place of a bishop, martyred for his faith and buried in four separate mounds. Holy well (RO02-090001-) is c. 140m to the ESE. (Gormley 1989, 62) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
