Barrow

Mid-way down a long moderately steep SW-facing slope in tillage. In 2000 (SMR file), the monument survived as a small partially overgrown, circular area (int. diam 5m) enclosed by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.15m; Wth 2.4m; ext. H 0.5m). with no trace of an outer fosse. However, ploughing up to the edge of the monument may have resulted in its infilling. In 2007, the monument was completely ploughed over revealing a central circular area of grey ash, charcoal and burnt bone which was girdled by a band (Wth c. 1.2m) of pale yellow soil with possible human bone, charcoal and burnt earth inclusions.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence indicates a local funerary tradition associated with burial mounds in the Irish landscape.
