What is recorded here

Barrow stands on a Kildare knoll, a low grass mound barely half a metre high yet visible from the air. Its centre has been dug out and its edges cut back, suggesting people wanted inside rather than merely looking from a distance. The barrow may have marked a dead person, a boundary or a local story now lost. What remains is a small wound in the land where curiosity kept returning.

A small, low, grass-covered, sub circular, earthen mound (ext. diams. 11.7m N-S; 9.2m E-W; H 0.5 - 0.9m), the interior of which has been dug out to a depth of 0.3-0.6m (over an area of 2.7m N-S; 1.1m E-W). The edges of the mound have also been dug away intermittently along N and E.. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

A Neolithic barrow, dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its location and construction suggest it was a funerary monument, though disturbance has compromised its archaeological integrity.
