What is recorded here

Tumulus is a ring-barrow in County Kildare, Ireland. O'Riordain excavated part of it in 1950 and found two flint fragments and a small round scraper but no burial. The site still holds a quiet mystery because the usual dead are absent while the flint tools remain behind.

A slightly domed, circular area (diam. c. 4m) enclosed by a broad shallow fosse and wide low bank (overall diam. 14m). Partially excavated by O'Riordáin (1950, 253-4: Site No. 2). Two possible postholes were noted in the central area, but no burial evidence was uncovered. Finds included two fragments of struck flint and a small round scraper.

A Bronze Age tumulus, likely constructed during the early to middle first millennium BCE. Its enclosure by a fosse and bank suggests ritual or defensive significance, while partial excavation indicates potential burials or artifacts associated with the site.
