Barrow

In pasture, on an elevated ridge. A circular area (diam. 16m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 0.65m; D 0.3m) with an external earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.4m). The bank is best preserved E->NW, there is no apparent gap in the bank but there is a slight dip at E. The interior, which is flat and c. 0.3m above the level of the top of the bank, is covered with briar and furze bushes. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

A Neolithic ring-barrow; its elevated position and fosse-enclosed construction suggest a ceremonial or funerary function, typical of early burial practices in Ireland.
