What is recorded here

Barrow is a vanished ring-barrow in wet County Limerick pasture, remembered only through a slight rise, gentle depression and a thin western ridge near the Reask River. It may have marked death, birth, boundary or bargain before grass and water took back its shape. The certainty has left, but the land still keeps the suggestion of a hole made human.

In wet pasture with Reask River 65m to NE, which forms the townland boundary with Milltown. Surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as no surface remains visible of site listed by O'Dwyer (1958-61, 96-8). There is a slight rise in the field at this point with a gentle depression. A linear ridge (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) running NE-SW lies to W. Monument is not visible on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018. The precise location of this monument is uncertain as two different locations are recorded for this same monument by Eoin Grogan in his thesis and by Michael O'Dwyer. See attached sketch plan and cross-sections surveyed and drawn by the ASI. Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 21 July 2020

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices in the region; its significance lies in its typological contribution to the study of megalithic and funerary monuments in the area.
