Barrow

One of a group of four possible ring-barrows although their arrangement and state of preservation may suggest ring-feeders. Their size and siting on a steep slope and situated to a nearby ring-barrow suggests that they may be authentic ring-barrows. It would have been an unlikely location on a steep slope for a ring-feeder, local land-owner has no memory of ever using a ring-feeder in this field. Situated on the NW-facing slope of rising ground in upland area overlooking Clodiagh river valley to W, higher ground to E. Monument consists of a low circular mound (diam. 1.6m; H 0.2m) enclosed by an inner fosse (Wth 2m; ext. D 0.2m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.2m) which is visible only on the downward slope side from SW through W to NW only, not visible and doubt if ever there was an outer bank on the upslope side of the barrow. Overall the monument measures 10m in diameter N-S. This barrow has a second barrow (TN033-065001) conjoined to its NE side and both of these barrows are located 20m to the E of the other two barrows (TN033-065002; TN033-065003) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

Ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE). Its association with a group of possible ring-feeders suggests a ritual or funerary landscape linked to burial practices and social organisation of the period.
