Description
Situated on a low rise, in undulating pasture, c. 20m to SW of a townland boundary. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 15m NE-SW; 14m NW-SE). Monument described in 1980 as a small high steep-sided circular-shaped flat-topped mound (H 3-4m) of earth and stone. The summit is fairly flat and the monument is overgrown with impenetrable vegetation, which prevented a detailed inspection. There is no definite trace of an external fosse around the base of the mound. A field fence flanks the base of the earthwork to NW. The classification of this monument is uncertain and may be the remains of a small motte or possible burial mound. Monument is visible today as a tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography. Compiled by Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O’Brien. Date of upload: 07 November 2019

Recorded monuments
- WM030-001 Barrow - ring-barrow
Description
Situated on a slight rise in undulating poorly drained pasture with good views of surrounding countryside. A large roughly circular area (overall diam. c. 75m E-W; int. diam. c. 30m E-W) delimited by a wide shallow flat-bottomed fosse with a substantial earth and stone bank well preserved from S-W-N-NE but elsewhere it is lower in height and has been defaced in places. There is a modern gap in bank at NE and some old quarry holes at WNW and WSW. The interior of the monument along with the enclosing fosse is traversed by old cultivation ridges running N-S. Most of the interior of the monument has been disturbed by these cultivation ridges. An old ESB pole has been placed on top of the bank at NE. It has been suggested that this monument may be the remains of a possible henge due to the large diameter of the monument or may be an example of a large ring-barrow (SMR File 29/03/1973).
