Ballamacskelly Burial Mound
Archaeology
The site of a probable Viking burial mound. It survives as grass and gorse covered mound with a diameter of 15.0 metres and a height on its eastern side of 2.0 metres. It is situated on the crest of a hill and a short distance from the sea.
By its size and topographical position it is comparable to the Viking Burial Mound at Cronk y Dooney. Two other mounds were reportedly seen in this area but no trace was found of any other mounds in the vicinity during field survey.
