What is recorded here

Barrow is a circular stone hollow near the summit of Slievenabawnoge Hill in County Dublin, marked by gaps to the north and south and a drystone wall climbing its west side. The hill is now planted with pine trees, but the barrow remains an unclassified reminder that people shaped this land long before modern boundaries. Its exact purpose is no longer recorded, yet its shape suggests ritual, burial or boundary marking rather than ordinary work.

Situated close to the summit of Slievenabawnoge Hill, c. 25m W of a cairn (1306 feet) which marks the trigonometrical station. A barrow consisting of a circular hollow (diam. 12.2m) defined by a bank of loose stone (Wth 1.5m; H 0.4-0.9m). There is a gap in the bank in the N (1.3m) and S (0.8m). A section of drystone wall extends up the slope and joins the W side of this feature. The Hill has been recently planted with pine trees.
