What is recorded here

Barrow is a ring-barrow on a prominent pasture hillock in County Longford, where a low stone dome still breathes beneath a surrounding bank. Its eastern entrance remains marked by a causeway, inviting entry into a chamber that may have held dead kings, forgotten farmers, or children who played at being gods. The mound is small enough to touch and old enough to haunt, a quiet chamber where human life still echoes through soil and stone.

On a low but prominent hillock in pasture. A low, dome-shaped mound of earth and stone (diam. at base 11.8m; H 0.3m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.3m; H 1.35m) with an internal fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.15m). A break in the bank at ESE (Wth 3.6m) with an accompanying causeway marks the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
