Barrow

Barrow, ring-barrow

What is recorded here

A small, level, circular area (diam. 5.4m) is enclosed by narrow shallow fosse and outer bank. Modern interference has resulted in some ten, small, regular trenches projecting from the inner face of the bank towards the interior.

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, characterized by its circular enclosure with fosse and bank. Its significance lies in representing a common funerary monument type in the Irish lowlands, though its specific cultural or ritual role remains unclear due to modern disturbance.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
