A low hummock in a field is all that remains of what was once a mound barrow, a prehistoric burial monument typically raised over the dead as a marker visible across open ground. The irony is complete: a structure built to endure has been reduced, through land clearance, to little more than a slight rise in the grass.

The 1946 revision of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the site as a circular enclosure roughly fifteen metres in diameter, with two trees growing inside it. That detail, two trees within a defined circular boundary, suggests the mound was still recognisable at mid-century, perhaps even treated with a degree of informal respect, as such features sometimes were in rural Ireland. At some point after that mapping, local land clearance removed the low mound entirely. What the map captured, and local memory has since confirmed, is a monument that survived long enough to be documented but not long enough to be protected.
