What is recorded here
Located on top of high ground in mountainous area with good views in all directions. One of a group of 5 barrows (OF038-008001/002/003/004-) located in close proximity to each other. According to local tradition these barrows are located on a hilltop which was the inauguration site of the O’Flanagans of Cinél Arga (Feehan 1979, 143). It is possible that these burial mounds form part of a ritual landscape associated with this inauguration site.
