What is recorded here

Barrow is a seven-metre ditch cutting through wet Limerick pasture, joining a busy cluster of ringforts and buried mounds. It is not a grand castle or a famous battle site, but a small circular mark preserved among larger neighbours. The ditch still shows in modern photographs, proving that even humble barrows survive when people stop covering them with pride or forgetting them altogether.

On wet partially reclaimed pasture. Two ring-barrows (LI024-041/243----) 30m to NNW, ringfort (LI024-040----) with hut site (LI024-299----) 42m to NNE. Ringfort (LI024-341----) immediately to S, ditch-barrow (LI024-342----) 15m to ENE. Outline of circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 7m) defined by a ditch visible on OSi orthophotos taken 2005-12.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location in association with ring-barrows, ringforts, and hut sites suggests a complex funerary and settlement landscape in a peripheral upland area.
