What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow (ring-barrow) in Duncummin, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies level wet pasture on the northwest side of a field system, sitting 16 metres southwest of a ringfort and 8 metres west-southwest of another ring-barrow. The roughly circular mound measures 4.8 metres across and rises behind a 0.2-metre-high earthen bank. A shallow ditch runs outside that bank, though livestock erosion has removed the ditch from the southeast and south edges.

In level wet pasture on the NW side of a field system (TS057-016014-) with a ringfort (TS057-016001-) 16m to the NE and a ring-barrow (TS057-010009-) 8m to the ENE with others nearby. Roughly circular slightly raised area (diam. 4.8m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 0.4-0.8m; H 0.2m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth at base 0.4-0.6m; overall Wth 1-1.2m; D 0.15m). From SE-S the fosse is absent where the edge of the ring-barrow has been eroded by livestock. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
