What is recorded here

Barrow is a grass-covered ring-barrow on a rise between Carrickbrack and Slieve na Calliagh in County Meath, Ireland. Its shallow mound, narrow fosse and outer bank form a quiet circle that may have marked burial, ceremony or boundary long before written memory. People may have walked through its possible NE and SW gaps, past the nearby cairn, reading the land as much as the stones. The shape still holds that old human attention, even when hidden under grass and distance.

Situated on a rise at the N edge of the col between Carrickbrack to the SW and the summit of Slieve na Calliagh to the E. This is a circular grass-covered mound (diam. of top 4.5m N-S; 3.9m E-W; H 0.2m) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 3-4.2m; ext. D 0.1-0.3m) from an outer earthen bank (Wth of base 2-3m; ext. H 0.1-0.2m). There may be entrances at NE (Wth c. 3m) and SW (Wth c. 3m) that might also be due to wear (max. ext. diam. 15m N-S; 14.2m E-W). The cairn (ME015-007----) is c. 60m to the E.
