What is recorded here

Barrow is a hidden ditch circle in wet Limerick pasture, joining four neighbour mounds and a fort beside the Camoge. It never appeared on official maps, but drought or camera angle drew its seven-metre outline through grass and shadow. The land kept the shape while human records forgot it, suggesting measurement and memory separate often.

In wet pasture on the floodplains of the Camoge River that forms townland boundary with Rathanny. One of a group of five barrows (LI040-270001/003; 005-), an inland promontory fort (LI040-271001-) lies 45m to the W. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified on oblique aerial photograph (ASIAP (347) 24, 17) as the circular cropmark of a possible ditch-barrow. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe taken between 2011-13. Monument visible as a circular cropmark (diam. c. 7m) on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached oblique aerial photograph (ASIAP (347) 24, 17) and Google Earth orthoimages.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2000–1500 BCE), associated with burial and ritual practices of the period. Its location within a group of barrows suggests a significant ceremonial or funerary landscape in the Camoge River valley.
