What is recorded here

Indicated is a barrow, unclassified in Tanrego West, County Sligo, Ireland. The site stood on a low rise and appeared as a small circular enclosure on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map. A 1994 report measured a nine-metre circular platform with a possible one-metre bank, part of which formed the boundary between Tanrego West and Carrownacreevy. The monument has since been levelled, leaving no visible remains at ground level.

Situated on a low rise. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a small circular enclosure. A 1994 field report (SMR file) described a circular platform (diam. 9m; H 1.35 at N, 1.55m at S) defined by a scarp with traces of a possible bank (Wth 1m) at its upper edge at S. From WSW-NE the perimeter was incorporated into a field boundary which marks the boundary between Tanrego West and Carrownacreevy townlands. No fosse was evident. The monument has since been levelled/destroyed and there are no remains now visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011

A circular platform tomb, likely dating to the Bronze Age. Its construction and positioning suggest ritual or ceremonial significance, typical of funerary monuments from this period.
