What is recorded here

Barrow is a Neolithic ring-barrow in County Cork, Ireland, built around 3000 BC. It stands as a flat-topped cairn, 19 meters across and 2 meters high, with another ring-barrow twenty meters north. These ancient stones likely hosted midwinter festivals, linking human ritual to the turning year. They still stand, holding that forgotten purpose in their shape.

In pasture, on W-facing slope c. 110m N of cairn (11803) and ring barrow (11844). Circular area (11m N-S; 13m E-W) enclosed by fosse with external bank (ext. H 0.1m; int. H 0.35m). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with funerary or ritual practices. Its location near other barrows and a cairn suggests a broader ceremonial landscape.
