What is recorded here

Mortons and others may have watched the coniferous forest breathe around the shallow fosse and tall earthen bank. The circular space measures 8.5m north-south, while the eastern entrance opens 2.8m across a causeway. That much is preserved in the description. Whether the barrow marked a burial, a boundary or a forgotten ceremony remains unknown.

A Neolithic ring-barrow, c. 2500–2000 BCE, characterized by its fosse and external bank with a causewayed entrance. Its association with a nearby cairn suggests it is part of a broader funerary and ritual landscape in the Carbery West region.
