What is recorded here
Barrow is a barrow (unclassified) in Corgarve, County Westmeath, Ireland. It sits on the edge of a scrub-covered ridge, otherwise in pasture, and abuts directly to the northwest. The 1837 OS Fair Plan annotated the site as a fort, while the 1837 OS 6-inch map depicted it as a roughly circular-shaped earthwork. A 1973 account recorded the levelled monument as having no surface remains visible, and the feature is not shown on the 1910 edition OS 25-inch map.
