What is recorded here

Barrow is a stepped burial mound in County Cavan, Ireland, built in distinct stages rather than a smooth dome. Its outer platform spans about 40 metres, with a smaller open ring inside and two close ramp entrances on the north. The mound sits on a low hillock among drumlins, blending into pasture until seen from above. Builders shaped the natural slope instead of flattening it, leaving a quiet place where the land still holds older lives.

Eight very small 'Forts' marked on OS 1836 ed. Marked 'Site of on 1876 ed. Situated on the SE slope of a high drumlin hill. Probably a barrow cemetery. Not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
