Barrow

Barrow, unclassified

What is recorded here

No one has opened the barrow at Annagh, yet satellite shadows and old survey lines preserve its oval shape above the flat pasture. The mound has waited through drainage, ploughing and forgetting, keeping its boundary marked only in grass that dries at a different rate. It is not a grand ruin but a withheld answer, still complete beneath the field.
In reclaimed pasture 150m N of the townland boundary with Rathanny. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Katherine Daly as a possible barrow from examination of Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff AP 5/2073). No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached Bruff aerial photograph and Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 28 June 2021
A possible Neolithic or Bronze Age barrow; its significance lies in its potential contribution to understanding early burial practices in the Bruff area.
