What is recorded here

Levelled monument, possibly a burial mound situated on flat reclaimed grassland 60m W of the River Gaine and c. 100m N of a levelled mound (WM012-032----). Surveyed in 1972 by the ASI and described as a 'small approx. circular round-topped grass-covered mound of small stones. It may perhaps be related to Mound 9 (WM012-032----). No mortar is visible on the small stones which protrude the grass. Sited to N of mound 9 (WM012-032----)' (SMR File, 13/03/1972). Surveyed in 2012 and described by McGuinness (2012, 28) as following: ‘This ‘mound’ documented in RMP, and a cairn a short distance to S (WM012-032---), were not located after a thorough search by the writer. They may have been destroyed like the ring-barrow in the same townland (WM012-030----). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by David McGuinness. Date of upload: 23 February 2015
