This one in Rathbran Beg is notable, in a quieter way, for what does not. A small circular mound of shale once occupied the highest point of a northeast-southwest ridge in County Meath, perhaps half a kilometre in length, where it would have been visible for some distance across the surrounding landscape. By the time anyone thought to look closely, it was already gone.

When the site was recorded in 1970, the mound was described as small and circular, composed of shale, with a quarry hollow cut into its summit. That detail of a quarry on top is a curious one: it suggests the mound had already been interfered with before it was ever formally documented, its material perhaps extracted for local use. By 1984, however, the mound itself had been removed entirely, leaving only the record of what had stood there. A second mound, catalogued separately, sits roughly fifty metres to the east-northeast and does still exist, which gives the vanished mound a kind of ghostly context; the two once occupied the same ridge together, and now only one remains to mark the spot.
