Barrow — stepped barrow in Clooncleagh

Barrow — stepped barrow

Why this matters

Stepped barrow, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its construction reflects early mound-building traditions and the modification of natural features for ceremonial or burial purposes.

What is recorded here

Situated on a low hillock in undulating countryside with good views in all directions. A natural hillock, the base of which has been scarped and the top flattened to form a flat-topped mound (diam. N-S 37m; H 1.5m) enclosed by a wide berm (Wth 3-5m) with no evidence of an outer fosse. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
