Barrow

In rough hillside pasture truncated by a field boundary removing the N half of the monument, 130m NE of the townland boundary with Knocknacrohy. The barrow is one of five ring-barrows (LI024-041/243/246/342/341----) in a cemetery 90m apart. Two further enclosures, most likely ringforts (LI024-341/040----) are located 55m to S and 20m E respectively. The site is not depicted on historic OSi maps. Visible on OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified during examination of Bruff aerial photographic survey of 1986 (Bruff AP 4/3681) as a ring-barrow (ext. diam. c. 8.5m). The site is visible with its N side truncated by a field boundary on the most recent Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
