Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

On reclaimed pasture with Glenatrahaun Stream 125m to NW forming the townland boundary with Ballynagally. The monument lies 150m SW of the group of five ring-barrows (LI024-322/224----) and a ditch-barrow (LI024-070----) and 40m SE of earthworks (LI024-189002-). The ring-barrow is not depicted on historic OSi maps, but it is faintly visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 32; AP 4/3668) as a circular ring-barrow (ext. diam. c. 10m) that consists of a central circular area surrounded by a fosse, the site appears to have a slight external bank. The ring-barrow is visible on the Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
