What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow (ring-barrow) in Duncummin, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a level circular area 4 metres across, enclosed by a low earthen scarp and shallow fosse, with traces of an external earthen bank. A nearby field-system channel abuts the external edge of that bank at the south-southwest, while a ringfort stands 16 metres to the east and another ring-barrow 24 metres to the southwest.

Circular area (diam. 4m) enclosed by a low earthen scarp (Wth 0.4m; H 0.1-0.15m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.4) and traces of an external earthen bank (int. H 0.1; overall Wth 0.6). Interior is level and clear of overgrowth. A WNW-ESE orientated channel (dims. Wth at base 1.4m; overall Wth 2.2m; D 0.2m) of the nearby field system (TS 057-01616) abuts the external edge of the bank at SSW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

A Neolithic ring-barrow; part of a clustered burial tradition, likely associated with early farming communities. Its proximity to other ring-barrows and a ringfort suggests a significant ritual or settlement landscape.
