• DG066-003 Mound
  Description

  There is no trace of this feature, which was first shown on the 1848-51 edition of the OS 6-inch map. According to Thomas Fagan (1845-8), 'the grave in question was originally enclosed by large flag stones, a few of which now lie prostrate on the grave, but all of which are absorbed beneath a cairn of small stones of modern collection'. A later, 1:2,500 Name Book (1903) makes no reference to the presence of stones at the site and describes it simply as a low mound of earth. Local information has suggested that it was a mound, probably oval, measuring c. 6m by 3m by 0.5m high (Ó Nualláin 1983a, 47). During its destruction in around 1940 it was reportedly found to have been composed entirely of clay. There seems to be little likelihood that there was a megalithic tomb here.
