What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow (ring-barrow) in Kilfeakle Churchquarter, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a circular area 4.75 metres north to south and 4.75 metres east to west, bounded by a 2.25-metre-wide, 0.15-metre-deep ditch and a 3.85-metre-wide outer bank rising 0.15 metres on both sides. The barrow sits inside the northern part of a medieval deserted settlement, where low banks form a small square boundary around it. Another ring-barrow lies about 150 metres to the east-southeast, suggesting the later settlement respected these older monuments.

In good pasture, within N-area of medieval deserted settlement (TS059-127----). Monument identified during ASI fieldwork. A circular area (dims. 4.75m N-S; 4.75m E-W) defined by fosse (Wth 2.25m; D 0.15m) and outer bank (Wth 3.85m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.15m). This is cordoned off within a small, square area defined by low banks of the deserted settlement. Another ring-barrow (TS059-146----) is located c. 150m to the ESE. It would appear that occupants of the later settlement respected these monuments. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 October 2013
