Barrow

Barrow, mound barrow

What is recorded here

Located at the NW end of a natural knoll known as 'Dun Hill' which has been enclosed in antiquity (DU019-004002-). A later cairn was apparently built on top of a low earthen mound thought by Westropp (1922, 58-9) to be a barrow.

Mound barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its construction reflects early funerary practices in the Howth area, with possible reuse or modification in later prehistoric periods.
