Barrow

Barrow, ditch barrow

What is recorded here

Barrow in Annagh, County Limerick is a possible ditch barrow still hidden beneath flat reclaimed pasture, not a proven chamber or named burial place. The story is that human hands may have shaped the earth there long before maps, while cattle and rain have since smoothed the evidence. It remains a quiet invitation to imagine what the field forgot.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence suggests a local funerary tradition and may indicate a broader pattern of burial practices in the region.
