What is recorded here

Barrow is a ghost circle in Limerick pasture, perhaps a buried tomb or perhaps a forgotten pond. It hides from human eyes until drought or camera light reveals its edge. The circle still turns the field into a chamber, waiting for someone to remember what it holds.

In reclaimed pasture, 87m W of a stream that marks townland boundary with Boherroe and 174m E of stream that marks townland boundary with Ballyphilip. Ring-barrow (LI024-179003-) lies 27m to S and linear earthworks (LI024-179002-) lie 80m to SE. Not depicted on OS historical mapping. Identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 23(01); AP 4/3665) as a small circular cropmark of a possible ring-barrow. Cropmark of a roughly circular shaped feature is visible on OSi orthophoto taken 2005-2012. Possibly the outline of a small pond or quarry feature rather than a prehistoric ring-barrow. Faint trace of feature visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/07/2017. On this map a series of linear features run out to E from n side of feature. These may be the remains of field drainage channels feeding in to an old watercourse running N-S in E side of field. See attached Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/05/2017 and Bruff survey image marked 23(01). Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 27 July 2020
