What is recorded here
Barrow is a small oval mound of earth, gravel and stones on an east-facing slope in County Kerry. It stands beside a rath, suggesting a settled place where people lived, buried their dead and remembered them across generations. The visible stones in its south-east half preserve the shape of hands that built it, even when the names of those hands have vanished.
In pasture, on a gentle E-facing slope. A grass-covered, oval mound (7.65m NW-SE; 5.2m NE-SW; H 0.75m) of earth, gravel and stones. The top of the mound is relatively flat with a slight slope down to the SE. The slope at NW is longer and more gentle than elsewhere. Numerous stones are visible in the SE half. A rath (KE058-039----) lies c. 100m to the W.
