What is recorded here

In pasture, sited on an elevation with excellent views over rolling grassland and to SE over an expanse of rough wet ground. This barrow is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 5-5.5m) defined by a bank (Wth c. 2m; ext. H 0.45m at SE, 0.65m at NW) with a low internal rim. A few large stones lying against the external face of the bank at SW are likely to be field clearance stones. The barrow is largely obscured by clumps of gorse and brambles. A ringbarrow (MA092-063----) is located 15m to SE.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA092-063001
