What is recorded here

Barrow is a circular enclosure in rough grassland, County Limerick, still visible in aerial photographs after escaping depiction on historic maps. Its bank, fosse and external scarp mark a small defended or occupied place beside Ballyhahill, perhaps used by people whose names never reached written record. The wet grassland has hidden it from ordinary notice while preserving the shape of human choice.

In poorly drained rough grassland, 90m E of townland boundary with Ballyhahill, a ringfort (LI037-114----) lies 55m to the SSW. Not depicted on historic OSi maps. Monument visible as circular enclosure on ASI aerial photographs taken 18/09/2005. Monument visible as a circular-shaped area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a scarp with fosse, bank and external fosse on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimages. An external bank from E-S-W is visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 24/09/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage and ASIAP taken 18/09/2005.
