What is recorded here

Barrow is a vanished circular enclosure in flat Limerick pasture, visible only in 1986 aerial photography and absent from modern satellite images. It lies near St John the Baptist’s Well and Rathjordan, suggesting an old boundary between water, worship and burial. The land may have swallowed the ditch, or people may have simply stopped seeing the shape that once cut the grass.

On flat pasture. The site is located 125m S of the townland boundary with Ballysallagh, 260m SW of St John the Baptist’s Well (LI023-108----) and 440m SW of the medieval church and graveyard at Rathjordan (LI023-098001/2-). The enclosure is not depicted on historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 127; AP 4/3660) as a circular enclosure defined by a fosse (ext. diam. c. 30m). No surface remains visible today on the most recent Google Earth orthoimages taken 28/06/2018.
