Barrow

In wet, level pasture, with excellent views of Knockseefin/Pallashill to WNW. Not depicted on OS historic mapping (O'Dwyer 1964, 96-8). Surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a low profile, circular-shaped area (4.6m N-S; 4.1m E-W) defined by an inner fosse (Wth 2.05-2.75m; D 0.14m) well preserved from WSW-W-N-E-S-SSW and external bank (int. H 0.14m; ext. H 0.2-0.23m; Wth 2.5-2.6m) best preserved from NE-E-S-W-NW, merges with a raised area adjoining the exterior from NW-N-NE. A linear mound (Wth 3.5m; H 0.2m) running NNW-SSE lies c. 5.5m to W. A barrow (LI024-053001-) and a possible barrow (LI024-053003-) lie c. 50m and c. 80m to SW and SE respectively. A high concentration of barrows are located within a 300m radius of this monument. Monument is not clearly visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018. See attached plan and cross-sections surveyed and drawn by the ASI.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age; its low profile and circular shape are typical of funerary monuments from this period. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of burial practices and landscape use in prehistoric Ireland.
