What is recorded here

Barrow is a 12m bowl-barrow in reclaimed pasture above the Garrynderk North boundary watercourse, with a castle 160m to the southeast. Its fosse and partial outer bank still mark a small circular mound, though a drainage ditch cuts through the south and pasture has softened the rest. It may have stood as a local landmark, a burial place or a boundary marker before field work changed its shape.

In reclaimed pasture 90m N of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Garrynderk North. Castle (LI047-039----) lies 160m to SE. Not depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. It is shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as a small circular-shaped mound (diam. c. 12m) defined by a fosse with traces of an external bank from SW-W-NW, reduced to a scarp elsewhere. Intersected at S by drainage ditch running NW-SE. Outline of tree-covered mound with fosse and traces of an external bank are visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 16/03/2016.
