What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow, bowl-barrow in Carrownree (corran By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It stands in natural woodland on the summit of Doon Hill as a roughly circular, sod-covered mound of earth and stone. The flat top measures about six metres across, while the base reaches twenty-three and a half metres east-west and twenty metres north-south. Quarrying has cut into the north and east edges, and overgrowth now obscures much of the northeast boundary.

In natural woodland, on the summit of Doon Hill. Views are restricted by trees but Maeve's Cairn (SL014-076----) is clearly visible in the distance on top of Knocknarea to W. A roughly circular largely sod-covered mound (diam. at base: 23.5m E-W; c. 20m N-S; H 3.5m) of earth and stone. The flat top (diam. c. 6m) is uneven and disturbed in appearance and W-NW is broadly slumped. The mound has been quarried into at N and E; bedrock immediately to N has also been quarried out. Overgrowth obscures much of the NE edge of the mound. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

Bowl barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location on a prominent hill summit suggests ritual or funerary significance, possibly linked to broader ceremonial landscapes in the region.
