Barrow

Ring-barrow which is one of 12 monuments forming an archaeological complex located in three fields and described by O'Kelly (1944, 17) as following; 'All these monuments are situated in a low-land marsh meadow, the entire complex covering three fields. In one field are 8 of the barrows and the two platforms [LI033-029001-/014-]. In the nearest corner of the next field to the east is the tumulus, and the 9th barrow is in the nearest corner of the next field to the north. The road lies immediately to the west of all these, and the sand-pit is just west of this. The Barrows are all exactly the same in method of construction but the diameters vary. They consist of very slight circular mounds surrounded by fosses and have no outer banks. The diameters vary between 15' [4.5m] and 36' [11m]. In their lay-out in the held there is no particular arrangement observable'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 09 August 2019
