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.
