What is recorded here

Wonderland is a barrow area in Ballyduff, County Limerick, holding at least one recorded burial mound near a ringfort and ring-barrow cemetery. The land is not one lonely mound but a small death landscape where several generations may have been set into the earth. That changes the meaning of the place: it is a remembered neighbourhood, not a random mark in pasture.
On flat undulating pasture. The site is located 460m E of the townland boundary with Wonderhill, 150m NW of a ringfort (LI023-102----) and c. 300m S of a ring-barrow cemetery (LI023-226001-/009-). The barrow is not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 158; AP 4/3665) as an oval feature (ext. diam. c. 15m). It appears to have been levelled as there are no surface remains visible on the most recent Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018.
