What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture cut by land drains and watercourses, to the immediate W of a stream and 195m NW of a townland boundary with Garrison. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Ditch-barrows (LI024-174001-/174002-) lie 45m to WNW and 75m to SSE, respectively. Identified as a circular-shaped cropmark by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 255: AP 4/3678). Monument is visible as a faint, roughly circular-shaped cropmark on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012 and on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2015, although is not visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018 and Bruff aerial survey image labelled Bruff 255. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 8 October 2020
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices in lowland areas; its location near other ditch-barrows suggests a wider ceremonial or funerary landscape.
