What is recorded here

Barrow is a 12m ditch barrow in wet Limerick pasture, joined by two smaller barrows within 105m. An old drain cuts across the circle, and cattle may have walked the place for centuries before aerial photography made its shape clear. The field has been worked, drained and rewritten, yet the buried chamber still holds its distance from the road and the living world.

In improved, wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, 305m NW of a public road, which also marks a townland boundary with Castlefarm. Ditch-barrows (LI032-272001-/02-) lie 62m and 105m to SE, respectively. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 231.03: AP 5/2017) as a small circular-shaped earthwork. Upstanding monument is clearly visible as a circular-shaped earthwork (diam. 12m) defined by a fosse, as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017. Monument appears to be bisected by an old ditch or drain running NE-SW, as seen on modern orthoimages.
