Tumulus


 

A tumulus is a circular mound of earth. It is about there metres high and eight metres wide. It was used for burying people. The Celts had great respect for their dead because they went through all that trouble to make a tumulus. It is a burial chamber a bit like Newgrange only not so big.
This tumulus is in Forelacka in Kinnitty.
