Barrow

In improved, wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, to the immediate E of a townland boundary with Ballynamona. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 239: AP 5/2018) as a semicircular-shaped earthwork to the immediate E of a field boundary. Upstanding monument is clearly visible as a pennanular-shaped earthwork (diam. 26m) which appears to be defined by a faint fosse and which is traversed by a field boundary running N-S to the immediate W, as seen on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its survival despite agricultural modification highlights its significance as a rare example of a barrow monument in the region.
