Barrow

Barrow, mound barrow

What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of a lower shelf on the W side of Tara in an area cut by many E-W paths. Described (Newman 1977, 120) as a circular mound (diam. c. 5.5m), it has no visible profile and has never been geophysically surveyed. The evidence is too uncertain at the moment for this to be regarded as a monument. Location: (791708, 759920) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 2 November 2021
A Neolithic mound barrow; its location near the Hill of Tara suggests ritual or ceremonial significance in the broader Bronze Age and early historic landscape.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
