Gallows Hill

Burnt Mound / Fulacht Fia

drewbhoy Apr 14, 2021

From the Gallows Hill cairn I headed up to the summit of Gallows Hill and down the other side to end up on a track. Head east and at a crossroads the burnt mound will be found. Sadly the track clips the monument, most likely the damage being caused by quads.

It is also very near the source of a small stream which trickles past it’s western flank. Despite the damage the mound still sits at almost 6m wide and is 0.5m high.
