The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated on slight rise in undulating, outcropping countryside. Circular bowl-barrow (diam. 14.6m, H 0.9m). Excavation by H. Morris in 1926 (CLAJ 1926, 71-6) revealed that the site was comprised of piled stone mixed with earth and numerous fragments of bone. A rectangular cist, aligned NW-SE, almost at the centre of the mound contained four 'urns' (see also LH011-001002-).

Bowl barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence indicates a tradition of round barrow burial in the broader eastern Irish landscape, reflecting early funerary practices and social structures.
