Thanks .

The site is defined by a massive bank and ditch that encircles what was once a drumlin island

Much of the mound was overgrown

Very interesting. My Irish relatives said that in Ireland, people use to believe the mounds were where Leprechauns lived. (Of course, those stories were told to me after vast amounts of Guinness and Irish Mist was consumed).

A hairy young lady from town
Had cleavage quite prickly and brown
She went to a spa
Where they waxed her ta-tas
Now her mounds are both softer than down

what’s up with that?

From Bantry Bay up to Derry Quay
And from Galway to Dublin town
No maid I've seen like the sweet colleen
That I met in the County Down.

Up Down!

The mound of Down was hidden from pubic view?

Feel compelled to add to the zaniness the 'Mound of Down' seems to be bringing out in some of us, with a rather well-known, som might say, most infamous, of comments about down.

How do you get down from an elephant?
Don't think the response needs posting but will gladly do so upon request. The answer might be well worth inquiring about to those who seek enlightenment on the subject. :-)

Does the article go on to explain what drumlin and a gorse are?

[ApplegateRanch]

Any else but you posting this, and I would have thought it was a porn title.

Aye, County Down, home of me own and me husband’s kin. Thinking his people were true Irish. Mine were transplants from Scotland. Last one we have found was Sir James Stewart, 4th earl of Traquair, Born 1534 in Traquair, Peebleshuire,
Scotland. His wife was Katherine Kerr (1538-1606)/ They married in Scotland, and for some reason they left Scotland for Ireland before their son William Stewart was born. They settled in County Down. Now I’m hunting for history for that time period in Scotland in order to have a clue as to why they left. The family came to America and settled in
S.C. and then to TN.
