What is recorded here

Barrow is a five-metre ring-barrow on a rough upland ridge in County Limerick, Ireland. Its shallow U-shaped ditch and low earth-and-stone bank still mark a small circular chamber, with a possible causewayed entrance facing east-southeast. The nearby ringfort Lissnaderne lies two hundred and seventy metres to the southwest, suggesting the ridge held more than one ancient occupation. The barrow may have marked burial, boundary or ceremony, while the surrounding upland kept its shape through seasons of wind, rain and forgotten foot traffic.

In rough upland area on the summit of a ridge, ringfort known locally as 'Lissnaderne' (LI038-022----) lies 270m to SW. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Surveyed in 1994 and described as a flat circular-shaped area (diam. 5m) defined by a U-shaped fosse (top Wth 2m; base Wth 0.8m; D 0.7m) and a low earth and stone bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.4m; int. H 0.8m) with traces of a possible causewayed entrance (Wth 1.5m) at ESE (SMR File, Field Report P. Danaher 01/07/1994).
