Located in undulating pasture. This mound consists of a roughly circular raised area (diam. 13.8m N–S; H c. 1m) composed of earth and stone. A moss-covered pile of loose stones, most likely field clearance stone of relatively recent date, is located at the W of the mound. The mound appears to be man-made, however, its exact nature is uncertain. It is engulfed in hazel, sycamore, hawthorn and blackthorn trees and is difficult to examine closely. The current landowner’s father always called the field in which the mound is located ‘the fort field’. There is another mound (MA070-153----) c. 75m to S.

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
