What is recorded here

Barrow is a ditch barrow hidden in wet pasture beside the Morningstar River in County Limerick. It never appeared on old maps, but aerial photography revealed a fifteen-metre circular mark in 1986. A standing stone waits forty metres away, while conifers crowd the south edge. The barrow has resisted human memory, emerging only through shadow and sky.

In wet pasture on the N bank of the Morningstar River that lies 30m to SE which marks the townland boundary with Rathcannon. A conifer plantation is located to immediate S. Standing stone (LI031-151006-) lies 40m to SE. Not depicted on any OSi historic maps.
