What is recorded here

On a N-facing slope, in rough, wet pasture, 120m S of the Reask River, which also marks a townland boundary with Brackyle. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. One of two satellite ring-barrows (LI024-292/293----) which are situated 5m to N of a large barrow (LI024-058001-). Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a low profile circular-shaped area (2.2m NE-SW; 1.5m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (Wth 1.5-1.6m; H 0.15-0.35m) and fosse (Wth 3.65-5.1m; D 0.18-0.45m) which are traceable from NW-N-E-SE. A land drain running NNE-SSW extends from the fosse at NNE. Monument is not visible on OSi orthophoto taken 2005-2012, or on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013, or on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with a burial tradition of circular earthen mounds. Its location and association with satellite barrows suggest a wider ritual or funerary landscape, though specific significance remains unrecorded.
