Barrow

Barrow, ditch barrow

What is recorded here

Barrow is a ditch barrow in County Limerick, Ireland. It lies in pasture near Killorath, beside two other ditch barrows. Aerial photography revealed its circular shape in 1986. The ground has hidden it again, leaving only a faint memory where people once marked death or ceremony.
In pasture 325m E of townland boundary with Killorath, immediately SW of possible ditch-barrow (LI031-041025-) and 120m NE of ditch-barrow (LI031-041023-). Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 68.01; AP4/3598) as a circular-shaped cropmark. Faint outline visible as a small circular shaped ring-ditch on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location suggests it is part of a broader ceremonial or funerary landscape in the region.
