Recorded monuments

• RO034-035001 Barrow - stepped barrow
  Description

  At the summit towards the NW end of a NW-SE ridge. Grass-covered circular platform (diam. of top 37m N-S; 37m E-W; H 0.35-1m) separated by a berm (Wth 19-21.6m) which is really a fosse from an earthen bank (Wth 4.4-8.6m; int. H 0.6-1m; ext. H 1.4-1.7m). The bank is surmounted by a stone wall and incorporated into a townland boundary with Rathmew N-SE. This bank is separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6.3-7.2m; Wth of base 1.5-3.3m; D 0.4-1.1m) from an outer bank (Wth 2.4-4.3m; H 0.3-0.45m) which survives only SE-W-N (max. ext. diam. 100m N-S; 96m E-W). There are small mound barrows at the NW (RO034-035002-) (dims 4m x 4.8m; H 0.3m) and NE (RO034-035003-) (dims 7.2m N-S; 6.2m E-W; H 0.45m) edges of the central platform, and a concentric bank (Wth 3.4-4.4m; H 0.1-0.35m), probably a modern feature, exists on the berm between the platform and the first bank WNW-N-SSE. There is an entrance (Wth 1.8m) through the two outer banks, but no causeway, at WSW. A D-shaped enclosure (RO034-035004-) (int. dims 4.6m N-S; 2m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; H 0.2-0.4m) is attached to the outer bank at WNW. Misinterpretation of the location of barrow (RO034-037----) led to the invention of an enclosure (RO034-035005-) attached to the outer perimeter of the barrow at S. Ditch-barrows (RO034-036----) and (RO034-037----) are just outside the perimeter at WSW and S. See the attached aerial view taken from the NW.
