Barrow

Situated on top of a hill in a mountainous region with extensive views. A steep-sided, flat-topped mound (H 5m; diam. 21m NW-SE) with a berm enclosing the base from S through W to NW. A modern quarry has destroyed the E face of the mound. The exposed section revealed no evidence of burials or any archaeological activity. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

Stepped barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location and construction suggest it was a significant ceremonial or funerary monument, though its wider regional significance remains unclear due to partial destruction.
