Barrow

Barrow, ditch barrow

What is recorded here

Killorath and the forgotten barrow: There is a hidden chamber beneath the seventh stone, waiting for the person who remembers why the wall was built. The chamber contains the lost name of the world and the chord that shaped it. The barrow is not a tomb but a room where the world was rehearsed before it became visible. What is forgotten is not lost. It is waiting for the person who can remember it.
In pasture 325m E of townland boundary with Killorath, immediately NE of possible ditch-barrow (LI031-041024-) and 120m NE of ditch-barrow (LI031-041023-). Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 68; AP4/3598) as a circular-shaped cropmark. Faint outline of cropmark visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-2012 or on Google Earth orthoimages.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its location and association with other ditch barrows suggest a broader ritual or funerary landscape in the area.
