What is recorded here

Barrow is a shallow ring-barrow on the Rathcroghan plateau where two other barrows and a rath cluster within a hundred metres, linking ordinary ground to the mythological seat of Connacht's kings. Scholars still argue whether it is a funerary monument or a cashel, but the grassy scarp and tiny central mound preserve that ambiguity rather than resolve it. Modern field walls cut across the older form, showing how living land keeps renegotiating with dead time.

On a gentle S-facing slope of a golf course. Subcircular grass-covered platform (dims 3.3m N-S; 2.3m E-W) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth of top 2-2.5m; D 0.1-0.2m) NE-S-NW. Rath (RO029-035----) is c. 30m to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

A ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence indicates a funerary tradition associated with early field systems and social organisation in the region.
