Sutton south artificial mound has 2 excavators/diggers in its vicinity, digging right up to the mound as far as I could see. Wonder if any archaeos are involved.

The overgrown mound is cut into by the house boundary wall.

The lake is maybe 150 metres from the sea. Is it freshwater? If yes, is that why the mound is here?

Sutton South

Ho hum, what have we here? I don’t rightly know but I loved the beach walk, the view across to Ireland’s Eye, and the freshwater (I think) lake on the landward side of the ‘mound’. Jealous of the owners of this place with their prehistoric mound and the beach over their back wall. Somewhere to visit on a sunny day after taking in the portal tomb in Howth.
