What is recorded here

Barrow is a small ring-barrow in County Mayo, Ireland, where a low circular platform sits inside a narrow fosse and outer bank. It is not on the standard maps, yet it remains visible in pasture beside a modern driveway. The site may have marked burial, boundary or local identity long before the house appeared. Its modest size does not reduce the chance that people shaped it, remembered it and returned to it across generations.

In pasture, on low rise with good views; overlooked by higher ground to S and N. A driveway to a house lies a few meters to E of the ringbarrow. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Low circular platform (diam. 2.7m; H 0.3m at NE, 0.45m at SW) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.5m) with an external bank (Wth 2-2.4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.35m at N, 0.5m at SW). Overall diam. (across ext. bank): 8.5m The central platform has a slightly concave profile. The external bank is composed of gravelly earth incorporating some large stones. It is slightly damaged at S−SW by quarrying. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 December 2021
