What is recorded here

In strip of land, lying between two public roads (R523 & N21), which is covered by dense overgrowth. Described by O Rahilly (1990) as 'a D-shaped area- may originally have been circular but subsequently truncated to the south by the old road ... measures c. 34m east-west and the internal level is approx. 1m below surrounding ground level ... it may be a ring barrow site'. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Medieval period; its truncated form suggests later modification, possibly due to agricultural activity or road development. Its location between major routes may indicate a strategic or ceremonial significance in the landscape.

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