Indicated

On a slight rise of the broad WNW-ESE ridge of Carnfree. It has been re-identified as Carn Lamha (FitzPatrick 2004, 65). Circular, conical and grass-covered mound (diam. of base 16m.3m N-S; H 3.5m) surrounded by a slight berm (Wth 1-1.2m) and fosse (Wth of top 5.5-9m; D 0.3m) (max. ext. diam. 35m N-S). There are also slight traces of an outer bank S-W, but this may be a field bank. The barrow is contained within a triangular area defined by field banks of the field system (RO028-056----). Ditch-barrows (RO028-071----; RO028-072001-; RO028-073----) are c. 60m to the W, c. 60m to the SSW and c. 90m SE respectively. (Herity 1983, 126-7; Waddell 1988, 15-6) Geophysical survey recorded high anomalous values on the mound that might be associated with burning episodes at its summit. However, anomalies towards the base could indicate the presence of terracing, or a revetment or cladding hidden within it.
