What is recorded here

This monument was discovered in Muckduff townland in 1934, and it was examined by NMI personnel. It consisted of a low circular mound (diam 8.9m; H 0.5m) composed of reddish clay and sand, with traces of burning. Beneath the mound, at a depth of 0.7m below the top, there was a slab-lined grave (L 2m; Wth 0.5m; D 0.5). When the landowner removed the covering stones, he found 'an earthenware vessel and also some crumbled bone.' (Raftery 1941, 302) Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
