What is recorded here
Barrow is a buried ring of earth in Annagh, County Limerick, known only through maps and aerial shadows because no one has opened it. It sits beside a stream in flat pasture, near another possible barrow and a ringfort, like a forgotten room in a house nobody enters. The land has been farmed and drained for generations, yet the old shape still shows faintly when dry summer light catches the grass.
In reclaimed pasture, ringfort (LI024-029----) 70m to NW. Second possible ditch-barrow (LI024-348----) 40m to E. Faint outline of ditch-barrow visible on Google Earth orthophoto taken 18/11/2018.

Ditch barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its presence suggests a local tradition of burial practice and may indicate a broader ceremonial landscape associated with nearby monuments.
