The site consists of a large oval earthwork, surrounded by a massive bank & ditch, with an entrance at NNE & a circular mound which rises from the interior of the platform & is probably an unfinished motte. The oval enclosure is most likely an earlier site, possibly a hill fort reused as a bailey by the Normans. The mound/motte is 54 x 55m diam., 12.5m high & is separated from the bailey by a ditch with a causeway at SW. The oval enclosure is 215m N-S x 167m E-W.

those sort of sites here are associated with the ancient seats of rulership.... they're fortified mounds rather than just burial places.... there are quite a few of them ... major ones at Navan and Tara

nifty... :bigsmile: that one pic just reminded me of the Indian Mounds so I thought I'd share :psychofun:

You always gotta be better than us.....*In a very whiney Irish accent* "they're fortified mounds rather than JUST burial places" ..... :P

They could all be from the same origin.... who knows... these things are so old that a lot of the history is entirely lost... so they make up a load of mumbo jumbo, further bury the truth in myths and legends.... and label those remarkable people who built these things as primitive and unintelligent.

I didn't stay for the whole thing, I wasn't there when it started... I only really paid attention to maybe three bands. Coheed and Cambria, the Vandals, and Avenged Sevenfold. Oh... and some Atmosphere.
