What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow (ring-barrow) in Enniscoffey or Caran, County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated on top of a prominent rise in gently undulating pasture, the site was depicted on the revised 1913 edition Ordnance Survey 25-inch map as a small circular-shaped earthwork measuring 9.5 metres in diameter, defined by a scarp, fosse and external bank. A 1971 description recorded the levelled monument as the remains of a circular-shaped area measuring 23 metres in diameter, noting that a low, smooth scarp rising 0.8 metres with faint traces of a fosse approximately 2.1 metres wide are visible from southeast through south to west and north.
