What is recorded here

Barrow is a circular ditch barrow in wet Camoge pasture, one of five possible burials clustered near a promontory fort. It has no marker on old maps and resists easy certainty, but the ground still holds its shape beneath grass and water. People may have walked past it for generations, sensing only a slight change in the land rather than remembering why the earth had been cut.

In wet pasture on the floodplains of the Camoge River that forms townland boundary with Rathanny. One of a group of five possible ditch-barrows (LI040-270002/005-), a possible inland promontory fort (LI040-271001) lies 13m to the W. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 138.01, AP 5/2101) as the circular cropmark of possible barrow. Monument visible as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 4m) on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached Bruff photograph labelled 138.01, oblique aerial photograph (ASIAP (347) 17), and Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 6 July 2021
