• MA089-019 Burial mound
  Description

  This Bronze Age burial mound is a National Monument (no. 483) in state guardianship. It is shown on the 1838 and 1930 OS 6-inch maps as a circular area (diam. c. 25m), named ‘Turnincorragh’. In the early 1950’s, the mound was quarried for road construction material, and burials were exposed. It was subsequently taken into state guardianship. The burial mound (diam. c. 12-15m; H c. 1.8m) consists of an earthen core covered by an outer layer of large stones. An inspection at the time the damage took place, recorded that the the stone layer on the E third of the mound had been completely removed (Rynne (1954-6, 72-4). Four large boulders were noted protruding from the outer edge of the mound, and may be part of an original kerb. Cremated bones and a tooth found in this area suggested that at least one burial had been destroyed. Two cists, oriented roughly NW−SE, were exposed. One, located near the centre of the mound, was open. It was subrectangular (L 0.6m; Wth 0.3m; D 0.3m), stone-lined and divided into two compartments of roughly equal-size. The NE compartment contained cremated bone and several decorated Food-Vessel pottery sherds. The second cist, which was located c. 1.5-2m to NE, was only partly exposed, but appeared to be similar in size and construction. A number of large slabs lying on the surface of the mound were interpreted as possible capstones, which once covered these and other cists. The cremated bones and the pottery sherds were removed to the National Museum. The sherds came from a vase type Food-Vessel, which had an everted rim and unpierced lugs. It was decorated with horizontal and vertical bands of incised herringbone pattern separated by incised grooves. (Rynne 1954-6, 72-4).
