What is recorded here

Mounds in Castlereban North hold Bann flakes and scrapers, proving people worked stone near the River Barrow before the mound disappeared. The Rath gave up its tools during levelling, then vanished from the land entirely. What remains is a small loss and a rare gift: objects freed from forgetting, place name preserved, exact spot surrendered.

Two Bann flakes, a thumb scraper and an end scraper were found in the course of the levelling of a small mound, known locally as 'The Rath', near the River Barrow in Castlereban North (Lucas 1958, 124). Its precise location is unknown. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 30 September 2013

A Neolithic burial mound, likely dating to the 4th to 3rd millennium BCE, associated with early farming communities in the region. The presence of flint tools suggests it may have been a ritual or domestic context linked to the local Neolithic settlement.
