**Micknanstown** submitted by ainsloch : Micknanstown Mound - part of a Neolithic complex which also included a large henge. (Vote or comment on this photo)

A possible passage mound outlier of the nearby Fourknocks group. The mound is about 75 feet in diameter and 13 feet high, and has several trees growing from it. It is situated just south of a now destroyed, once very impressive henge. There were originally three henges in the area, all now destroyed. The mound is on private farmland, but is clearly visible from the roadside.
