Barrow

Barrow, pond barrow

What is recorded here

In wet, low-lying pasture. A circular, saucer-shaped depression (diam. 12.8m; D 0.45m) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.95m; H 0.45m) with an external fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.5m). From SSW-W-WNW the outer face of the bank and the fosse have been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. From E-S-SW the fosse has been infilled and its outline is barely identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Pond barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. This type of monument is significant as an example of early funerary and ritual practices associated with water in Irish prehistory.

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