What is recorded here

Killinaboy church and a lost tower house still flank the barrow, proving the ground remained sacred long after the first burial. cattle graze beside it now, unaware that their hooves press ancient clay. The field wall follows the eastern edge like a boundary drawn in stone, perhaps respecting what it cannot understand.

In a shallow depression in a gentle W-facing slope in pasture. This well-preserved barrow comprises a grass-covered circular platform (diam. of base 13.7m N-S; min. 12m E-W; diam. of top 10m N-S; 9.3m E-W) which is poorly defined NE-E-SSE, where the platform limits merge with the surrounding ground. However, a later N-S running field wall (and townland boundary) appears to follow the edge of the barrow on this eastern side. Several non-contiguous stones protruding through the sod at the edge of the platform may be kerbstones. At the centre of the platform is a low cairn (diam. c. 1.5m; H 0.1m). There is a graveyard (CL017-020002-) c. 69m to the S, enclosing Killinaboy medieval church (CL017-020001-). The site of a tower house (CL010-020004-) lies c. 93m to the SE.
