What is recorded here

Barrow is a small flat-topped circular mound on the northeast slope of a low drumlin ridge in County Cavan, Ireland. It has a diameter of 5.3 metres east to west and is enclosed by a low earthen bank with a wide, shallow internal fosse. The bank from northeast through east to south-southeast is greatly disturbed by a field boundary, and the original entrance is no longer recognisable. A shallow circular depression was recorded immediately east of the mound’s centre.
