The interior is level with the exception of the SSW edge which slopes very slightly facing SW. The interior is dry and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 14 May 2014
A Neolithic ring-barrow; part of a broader burial tradition in Ireland. Its location among other barrows suggests a significant ceremonial or funerary landscape.
