What is recorded here

Barrow is one of twelve ring-barrow monuments in County Limerick, Ireland. It measures 18.3 metres across, has a low gapped bank and a shallow fosse, but no visible entrance or interior difference from the surrounding field. It belongs to a complex where most markers sit in low-land marsh, yet this one remains only a faint local shape.

One of a complex of 12 monuments (LI032-073001-/013-). Listed by O'Kelly as monument No. 2 and described in 1943 as following; 'Nos. 1 & 2. These are the remains of two small ring-forts or ring-barrows. They have very low banks, gapped in many places. Both are surrounded by very shallow fosses, and both are 60' [18.3m] in overall diameter. The entrances are not recognisable, and the interiors are level with the field outside. All these monuments, except Nos. 1 to 5 inclusive, are situated in a low-land marsh. Nos. 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 12 are not marked on the OS Maps (O'Kelly 1942-3, 181-2). The outline of the monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
