Barrow

Located on a gentle NE-facing slope at the edge of a valley, in rough pasture-land. Not indicated on the 1st ed. (1840) OS 6-inch map but depicted on the 1904 ed. as a small mound quite close to old farm buildings which are now gone except for a corrugated iron shed. An overgrown oval earthen mound (11m NE-SW; c. 9m NW-SE; max. H 1.28m; min H 0.66m) broader at NE and narrowing to the SW. There are a number of large burrow holes but no stone visible. An old field boundary (N-S) abuts the E quadrant of the mound. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

Mound barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence indicates prehistoric funerary activity in the area, though its wider significance remains unclear due to limited recorded context.
