Description
Situated on poorly drained land with a stream immediately to the SE. Roughly crescent-shaped mound (max. H 1m; dims. 13m NW-SE; 10m NE-SW) of burnt material with slight shallow depression in S face of mound. This depression may indicate possible location of trough area. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.

- TN033-063 Barrow - ring-barrow
Description
Situated on poorly drained W facing slope overlooking Clodiagh River in mountain valley. River runs through base of mountain valley from N to S. Higher ground overlooks barrow to E. Well preserved site consisting of a low oval-shaped sunken area (diam. 7.5m N-S) enclosed by a slight bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1m) and outer fosse (base Wth 2m; ext. D 0.2m). Overall diameter of site measures 21m N-S; 16m E-W. Not clear whether the sunken area in the centre is enclosed by a bank or is this just a bank created by the sunken interior.

- TN033-065 Barrow - ring-barrow
Description
One of a group of four possible ring-barrows although their arrangement and state of preservation may suggest ring-feeders. Their size and siting on a steep slope and situated to a nearby ring-barrow suggests that they may be authentic ring-barrows. It would have been an unlikely location on a steep slope for a ring-feeder, local land-owner has no memory of ever using a ring-feeder in this field. Situated on the NW-facing slope of rising ground in upland area overlooking Clodiagh river valley to W, higher ground to E. Monument consists of a low circular mound (diam. 1.6m; H 0.2m) enclosed by an inner fosse (Wth 2m; ext. D 0.2m) and outer bank (Wth 3m; ext. H 0.2m) which is visible only on the downward slope side from SW through W to NW only, not visible and doubt if ever there was an outer bank on the upslope side of the barrow. Overall the monument measures 10m in diameter N-S. This barrow has a second barrow (TN033-065001) conjoined to its NE side and both of these barrows are located 20m to the E of the other two barrows (TN033-065002; TN033-065003) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
