Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

'Situated on a prominent hilltop ridge in an area devoted to rich pasture, and located on the immediate east side of a north/south field boundary, this circular barrow has been partially levelled in the past few years. As it has been flattened, the dimensions may be somewhat distorted. The central platform is much denuded, but still visible as a low circular mound 12.0m N-S by 12.0m E-W, and is 0.20m above the level of the surrounding fosse. This fosse is an average of 3.00m wide and is 0.40m below the crest of the bank. This bank has an average width of 5.00m, and survives to an average height of 0.40m above exterior ground level, although it does attain a maximum height of 0.50m at north.' Compiled by Michael Connolly for the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as part of a survey of the Lee Valley area in 1996-97. Date of upload: 4 May 2012
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location on a prominent hilltop suggests it may have had ritual or territorial significance.
