What is recorded here

Barrow is a barrow (bowl-barrow) in Knigh, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a relatively low-lying position where the ground rises gradually to the northwest and south. Quarrying has removed the centre and cut entrances through the mound to the north and south, leaving only the outer edge at the east and west. That surviving edge reaches about 2 metres in height and spans about 26 metres at its widest point.

Situated in a relatively low-lying position with ground rising gradually to the NW and S. A poorly preserved mound of gravel and clay which has been greatly altered by quarrying. It survives to a height of c. 2m and has a maximum diameter of c. 26m. The centre of the site has been completely quarried out, with an entrance cut through the mound to N and one to S. All that remains is the outer edge at the E and W, however, this could be augmented by spoil material which has been pushed outwards. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
