Barrow

On a slight NW-facing slope, on the floor of a wide gently sloping NE-SW orientated valley, in low-lying wet pasture. Two ring-barrows (TS058-070001- and TS058-070002-) are located 18m to the SW and the standing stone (TS058-023004-) at Longstone is visible 1.5km to the NNE with a mound-barrow (TS058-047----) visible 750m to the SE. A circular hollow area (diam. 54m) defined by a substantial flat-topped earthen bank (overall Wth 20-21m; Wth at top 4m; int. H 1.1-2.9m; ext. H 0.7m). The bank has a very uniform profile with a flat top and the inner slope (Wth 10m) being consistently broader than the outer slope (Wth 6m). There is no entrance, however, there is a dip in the bank (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) in the NW and S quadrants where there bank has been denuded by cattle. The interior is level and waterlogged. The interior is level and waterlogged. A embanked enclosure (TS050-024----) is located 10km to the NE, it has a similar morphology but appears to have an original entrance.

Pond barrow, dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE). This type of barrow is significant as it reflects early funerary and ritual practices associated with water in prehistoric Ireland.
