What is recorded here

At 567 feet above Kildare pasture, a compound barrow hides beneath grass and gravel pits, its wide bank and central mound marking a place where observation and burial may have joined. Later hands cut a souterrain through the old earth, turning memory into shelter or storage before roads and fences clipped the edge. The ground still holds that layered life: first witness to the sky, then vessel for the dead, then workspace for the living.

In level pasture in an area of extensive sand and gravel pits. Visible on a 2009 Google earth image as the cropmark of a fosse enclosing a circular area (estimated diameter c. 18m), possibly a ringbarrow (pers. comm. D. Brennan, 30-03-2015). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 22-12-2015

Ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its potential to contribute to understanding burial practices and landscape use in a region affected by modern extraction activities.
