What is recorded here

One of five aligned monuments in County Limerick, the barrow sits in wet pasture beside Oldtown. It joined a standing stone, two other barrows and an enclosure along a 165m boundary line. The arrangement suggests a place for ceremony, memory or local identity, though no surviving name records the purpose.

In improved wet pasture, cut by land drains and watercourses, 32m NW of a townland boundary with Oldtown. One of a complex of five monuments aligned roughly NE-SW along the townland boundary, over an approximate distance of 165m and consisting of a standing stone (LI032-160001-), three ring-barrows (LI032-160002-/03-/04-) and an enclosure (LI032-160005-). Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified as a small, circular-shaped cropmark by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 275: AP 5/2047).
