What is recorded here
In a flat field of Annagh, County Limerick, a barrow keeps its shape despite generations of ploughing and drainage. The 1840 survey called it a circular enclosure, the 1897 survey an oval ring with a ditch, and modern satellite images still show it lying between a ringfort and a field boundary. No one has opened it, so the dead or meaning inside remain hidden. It is not a grand ruin but a quiet contradiction: ordinary pasture holding an old mark that refusal has not erased.
At this location both Google Earth and www.bing.com/maps/ show what appears to be a ringbarrow between the ringfort LI015-032---- and the field boundart to its east.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence indicates prehistoric burial practices in the area, though its wider significance remains unrecorded.
