Visit Notes

Sunday, 4th June 2006

This mound is 300m east of an impressive looking rath that is marked on the OS map. The mound isn't marked. I will visit the rath when the grass around it isn't so high.

The mound is long, rather than round and aligns roughly north-south. There are several pieces of rock poking out of it and it has a lovely thorn tree growing on top of it. It has also been used to mount a telegraph pole on!
