What is recorded here

Identified during pre-development testing on the Airport-Balbriggan Bypass (Lynch 2004, 127). Comprises a circular ring barrow with an entrance at the N and W part of the ring. A deer antler was found directly opposite the W causeway. A deposit of cremated bone was found within the ditch and on the E side of the site. The NE side of the ring-ditch was cut through by five inhumations oriented east-west. Beside these inhumations were four others, oriented north-east/south-west.

Circular ring barrow, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age; its orientation and the discovery of a deer antler suggest ritual or ceremonial significance.
