Ardmayle Artificial Mound View all content for Ardmayle

This mound is located in a lovely little village just outside of Cashel. It is an interesting place, there are the remains of two castles, a church dedicated to St John the Baptist and a very defensive looking Motte to the north of this site all in the vicinity. When I travelled to Ardmayle after reading the Waterford Arch journal (which mentions there is a possible passage tomb at Ardmayle) I assumed it was the motte marked to the north that would be the burial mound. So I passed this mound thinking that it looks very interesting. However after seeing the motte it was pretty obvious that it wasnt a reused mound. So I went back to investigate the first mound I had seen. The mound itself seemed to be much tampered with, a wall has been built into with a stone arch feature at one side (north-east?). It is classified as a burial mound according to archaeology.ie.
