What is recorded here

Twenty-five metres of packed earth rise above the old chapel in Glencullen, marking a boundary between the living village and the forgotten dead. The southern bank is truncated by a modern field edge, yet the central mound still holds its shape against centuries of rain and foot traffic. A lone standing stone watches from the north-east, silent beside the buried chamber where human hands once shaped destiny.

Situated on the upper crest of a hill above the old chapel in Glencullen village. A barrow comprising of a circular round-topped mound (diam.25m; H 3.2m) defined by an inner fosse (Wth 5m; H 0.5m) and external bank (Wth 2.5m; H 0.5m). The site is damaged in the S where its bank has been truncated by a field boundary extending E-W. There is a single standing stone (DU025-047002-) to the NE of the bowl-barrow (Healy 1975, 1-19; Turner 1983, 14). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 28 July 2018
