Barrow

On flat pasture 140m E of the N tip of the townland boundary with Castlelloyd. One of five barrows (LI025-033001/002/003/005-) in a barrow cemetery. The ring-barrow is not depicted on historic OSi maps, but is visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12. Not visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 10.4; AP 4/3621) as a circular ring-barrow (ext. diam. c. 8m). The W side of the monument appears to have been cut by a later ring-barrow (LI025-033003-) in the group. The ring-barrow is visible on the most recent Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, and part of a barrow cemetery; its presence indicates a significant prehistoric funerary landscape in the area.
