What is recorded here

In wettish, rushy pasture, located on a slight rise on flood-prone ground, 10m N of the current shoreline of Lough Killaturly. Ground rises gradually to N for c. 150m, then more steeply towards an E–W ridge. A low circular platform (3.9m N–S; 3.6m E–W; H above fosse 0.15-0.35m) is enclosed by a fosse (Wth 0.5-0.6m) with an external bank (Wth 1.2-1.7m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.25m). Another ringbarrow (MA062-107001-) is located c.140 m to N. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 January 2021
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location near a former shoreline suggests possible ritual or funerary significance in a landscape shaped by changing water levels.
