Barrow

Timoney (1984, 322, no. 6) describes this as follows: ‘The total diameter of this overgrown ring-barrow, sited on the crest of a glacial ridge, is in the region of 19m. It is known locally as "Jenny's Fort". A low flat topped mound, 10m in diameter and not more than 30cm high, is enclosed by a "U'-bottomed fosse, 2.50m wide and 40cm deep, and this in turn-by a bank, 2m wide and 35cm high. Burenhult (1980:1, 95) lists this as Structure 46, Knocknahur North, recte Breeoge. It is within Phosphate Field XIV. Only very small increases of phosphate values were recorded (Burenhult 1980:1, 105).’ Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 28 January 2014

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices in the Irish landscape. Its local name, "Jenny's Fort," may reflect later folkloric or cultural associations.
