Barrow

Surveyed in 2013 and described by McGuinness (2014, 29) as following: 'Low circular mound (Diam. 3.10m N-S x 3.10m E-W) with well-defined edge and slightly domed to flattish upper surface, rising up to 0.30m above ground level on N side. Limestone boulders protrude from upper surface of mound, suggesting that there may be cairn, perhaps a cist, beneath the sod; a boulder protruding from NW edge of mound, apparently on edge, could be a kerbstone. Monument is sited in pasture on summit of hill with panoramic views: the Slieve Blooms dominate view to S; Knockastia, capped by a multiple-cist cairn (WM031-015----), and Croghan Hill in Offaly, with a tumulus (OF010-004001-) on its summit, are prominent to NW and E respectively; also visible c. 800m to W is Bonfire Hill (Fitzpatrick 2005, 273)'.
