Barrow

In gently undulating low-lying wet pasture with a ring-barrow (TS065-065005-) abutting the monument on the ENE side and another (TS065-065003-) located c. 70m to the NE. Identified during field survey by Mark Keegan (25/01/2005). Circular area (diam. 3m) enclosed by a scarped edge (Wth 0.6m; H 0.1m) with a shallow fosse (Wth at base 0.6m: D 0.05m) and an external earthen bank (overall Wth 1.8m; Wth at top 0.6m; ext H 0.1m). The scarped edge, fosse and external bank are barely visible N-SE. The external bank is incorporated into the external bank of an almost identical ring-barrow (TS065-065006-) WSW-W. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 16 September 2014

A ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age, associated with burial practices in lowland Ireland; its location and proximity to other barrows suggest a wider funerary landscape.
