O’Donnell’s farm and described as following; ‘A second similar barrow was excavated in the same field, and others could be seen at certain states of the vegetation.’ No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Excavated by Ó Ríordáin, it is significant as part of an early recorded burial tradition in the region, though its wider context remains poorly understood.
