Barrow

Barrow, bowl-barrow

What is recorded here

On the S-facing slope of a drumlin. According to local information, a high steep-sided mound was levelled during recent land reclamation and is no longer visible at ground level (pers. comm. M. Keane and J. Farrelly). 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 significance lies in its typological association with early funerary practices in the region, though its exact context has been compromised by land reclamation.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
