Barrow

On a saddle with land sloping gently down to N and S, in improved pasture. Listed as ‘Ring-barrow group’ in the RMP (1996). In 1986, at least one ring-barrow was identified at this location and described as a raised circular area (total diam. c. 27m) enclosed by a fosse and an outer bank (SMR file). A feature is visible at the location in Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (GSIAP R 12, 13; original photograph HSL 9102/03). However, no remains were visible at ground level when inspected in 1998.   Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott   Date of upload: 30-9-2025
