What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow (ditch barrow) in Ballyvistea, County Tipperary, Ireland. It is a circular enclosure about 12 metres across, defined by a ditch and visible in pasture. Another smaller ditch barrow about 5 metres across joins its east side, and a ringfort stands about 130 metres to the east. The size of the enclosure and the number of barrows nearby suggest it is a barrow, though that identification remains uncertain.

In pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 12m) defined by a fosse, visible on satellite imagery (© Google Earth, imagery date 18 November 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. The size of the enclosure and the high concentration of barrows in the surrounding area would suggest that this is a barrow. It overlays, or is conjoined with, another ditch barrow (TS065-080----) which is visible (dims. c. 5m) projecting eastward from the E side of the enclosure. A ringfort (TS065-070----) is located c. 130m to the E. See attached: TS065-079----_01 Google Earth image (imagery date 18 November 2020) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 10 January 2022
