What is recorded here

Barrow in County Longford is a circular mound of earth and stone, eleven and a half metres across at its base and one to one point six metres high, sitting on a level shelf of a west-northwest-facing slope. Cattle have trampled part of it flat, and no surrounding bank or ditch remains visible. It is probably the remains of a burial mound, though the people who built it and the dead it held have not left their names behind.

There is no trace of an encircling bank or fosse. Probably the remains of a burial mound. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
