What is recorded here

Barrow is a small D-shaped ring-barrow in damp County Limerick pasture, its shallow fosse and thin outer bank still visible beside a nearby ringfort. It is the kind of place where ancient hands may have cut, carried and shaped earth before memory faded, leaving only a slight ridge for cattle to graze across.

In damp pasture, on a N-facing slope. D-shaped area (4m NE-SW straight side; 4m NW-SE) defined by inner fosse (Wth 2.95m; D 0.25m) SW-NE which is infilled S-SW with up-cast drainage material. Outer bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.15m) is best preserved SW-W but barely traceable W-NW. Monument truncated by field drain ENE-SE. Ringfort (LI024-014001-) c. 24m to NNW. Level interior under oasture. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 6 December 2013

A Neolithic ring-barrow, c. 2500–2000 BCE, representing an early form of burial monument associated with the construction of earthwork enclosures and fosse systems. Its significance lies in its contribution to understanding Neolithic funerary practices and landscape organisation in the region.
