Kionlough Burial Mound

Archaeology

A ditchless, grass-covered, rather irregular mound which resembles a barrow. It is situated on the brow of a hill and has an average diameter of 18.0 metres with a height to the east of 2.0 metres. It is much mutilated on its top and at the sides and the lower slopes have been under the plough. On the top in the north west is a prostrate white quartz block, 0.7 x 0.4 x 0.3 metres. The position is similar to the Viking mound at Knock y Doonee.  It may be a Bronze Age barrow or maybe more likely to be a Viking barrow.
