Blue Point, Gob Gorrym Burial Mound
Archaeology
The site of a Bronze Age or Early Medieval barrow. It survives as a ditchless, grass-covered barrow with a diameter of 8.0 metres and height of 1.0 metres. A small mound has been added to the surviving southern section, but the original southern edge has been ploughed away.
This barrow was recorded as being "2 to 3 foot" high in 1928 at which time flints were found here, which may point to a prehistoric date for the feature.
