What is recorded here
On a SE slight facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Monument identified during field inspection of adjacent ditch-barrow (TS066-093----) located 8m to the WNW. Circular area (diam. 5m) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarp (Wth 0.6m; H 0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.6m) and traces of an external earthen bank (overall Wth 1.6m). Traces of the external bank enclose the barrow NW-NE and SE-SW with no visible traces elsewhere at ground level. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices in the Irish landscape. Its proximity to a ditch-barrow suggests a possible funerary or ritual landscape.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
