I was surprised by the extent of the informative board, even if some of the info is a tad skewed.

So the estate is built and the mound is preserved.

I’m all for the preservation of articles of our ancient past, but hold on a minute with the fencing.

There are quite a few mounds in the field here. This is not the mentioned one – that’s enclosed by the fence to the right.

A convenient gap in the hideous protecting fence.

The mound is encircled by awful fencing and, by the looks of it, is going to survive the fake boom that was the Celtic Tiger only because of the economic collapse.

200 metres down from Portmarnock train station is this suburban curiosity. What is it? Why was it put here? Will it last for much longer? The last can be answered with some confidence – at least into the near future with the over-the-top fencing that has been erected to, one presumes, protect it. The field it’s in is one of those places that looks like its ready to start the second the property collapse bottoms out. This one’s for the completists only.
