What is recorded here

Twenty-four metres of forgotten ceremony still circle the low mound where Abbeyland pasture now swallows the edge of Dunmore. The barrow keeps its shallow ditch and outer bank intact beside a rath, waiting for footsteps that have not pressed the northern trackway for generations. What was buried there has stopped being obvious, yet the ridge and river still mark the spot where human hands first shaped the land into a vessel for memory.

In low-lying pastureland immediately to the SSW of a rath (GA098-078001-). This circular ring-barrow (diam. 24m), in fair condition, comprises a low central mound (diam. 5.3m; max. H 0.47m) encircled by a fosse and external bank. A trackway abuts the bank at N. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 August 2019
