What is recorded here
Barrow is a barrow (ditch barrow) in Lattin North, County Tipperary, Ireland. It preserves a circular area 3.5 metres north-south and about 4 metres east-west, bounded by a shallow ditch 1.7 metres wide and 0.15 metres deep. Aerial photography identifies a second ring-ditch, but ground disturbance hides it from view.
In improved pasture, on top of prominent rise. Remains of circular area (dims. 3.5m N-S; c. 4m E-W) defined by shallow fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.15m) NW-E-S and disturbed by cattle feeding area S-NW. Possibly also disturbed during construction of modern farm road c. 6m to W. Identified as a pair of ring-ditches on an aerial photograph (OS 2396) and on Bruff 29 aerial photograph survey (Aerial 2036?). Second ring-ditch not visible due to ground disturbance.
