What is recorded here

Barrow is an oval mound of earth and stone tapering to a tail at one end. It sits in oak-planted pasture on a north-facing slope in County Cork, Ireland, joined by three other tumuli near a burial ground and cist. The shape suggests deliberate making rather than accidental heap, though no longer visible as a standing marker.
