What is recorded here

Mound in Suirville is a mound in Suirville, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies the western flood plain of the River Suir near a southern pond, a ringfort two hundred and twenty metres to the west-northwest, and Suir Castle one hundred and sixty metres to the east. The 1905 map draws it as an oval mound ten metres north-south and seven metres east-west, with a north-northwest to south-southeast drain ten metres to the east. Dense growth and saturated ground still block entry.

A Neolithic burial mound, likely dating to the Early to Middle Bronze Age. Its oval shape and depiction on the 1905 Ordnance Survey map suggest it may be a cairn or barrow, representing early funerary practices in the region.
