What is recorded here

On an esker ridge, c. 40m to the SW of a rath (GA104-008001-). This circular ring-barrow (diam. 15.7m) is definded by a low flat-topped mound (diam. 6.5m; H 1m) encircled by a fosse and external bank of earth and stone. The centre of the mound has been disturbed and no visible surface trace of the fosse and bank survive from NW through N to SE (SMR file).

Circular ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its construction with a central mound, fosse, and external bank reflects a regional funerary tradition associated with elite burials in upland or esker landscapes.
