What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow, unclassified in Annaghmore (coolavin By.), County Sligo, Ireland. It stands at the end of a low ridge in pasture, overlooking two standing stones 600 metres to the south-east. A five-sided mound of earth and stone, it was probably once circular before erosion shaped it. The uneven top slopes down from west to east, and bushes partly cover it now.

In pasture, at the end of a low ridge and with a good view of two standing stones (SL044-057----; SL044-058----) c. 600m to SSE. A five-sided mound of earth and stone (7.3m N-S; 8.2m E-W; H 1-1.5m). The mound was probably originally circular and its present shape may be due to erosion. Its size and location suggest a barrow. The top of the mound is uneven and slopes down from W to E. It is partially overgrown with bushes. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

A Bronze Age barrow; its position and association with standing stones suggest a ritual or funerary function within a wider prehistoric landscape.
