In improved, level pasture. Identified as one of a pair of unclassified barrows during a survey by Eoin Grogan. Remains of oval area (dims. 4m NE-SW; 2.8m NW-SE) defined by shallow fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.12m) NNE-WNW and truncated by shallow land drain (long-axis NE-SW) across NW-sector. Interior only marginally lower than exterior by 0.03m. Ditch barrow (TS066-169001-) is conjoined to SE. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its oval fosse and positioning suggest a funerary or ceremonial function, typical of burial monuments in the Irish landscape during this period.
