What is recorded here

At a court tomb (SL014-045----). Ó Nualláin (1989, 30) notes that the centre-court tomb stands within ‘a roughly circular embanked enclosure which rises to a maximum height of about 2m. The enclosure appears to be of later construction than the tomb and stones protruding from the bank suggests that spoil from the megalithic cairn may have been utilised in the construction of the bank.'
