Barrow

Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

At the foot of a low hill in flat farmland. This subcircular ring-barrow (25.5m E-W; 22.7m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by an oval central mound (11.3m E-W; H 0.3-0.65m) encircled by a fosse and external bank. A hollow is visible just off-centre in the mound. The external face of the bank has been defaced as a result of the construction of a later field boundary against it. The monument is overgrown with brushwood. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 16 August 2019
A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, characterized by a central mound surrounded by a fosse and external bank. Such monuments are significant as they represent early funerary and ritual practices associated with burial and territorial markers in prehistoric Ireland.
