• WM009-035 Barrow - mound barrow
  Description

  Situated in an area of grassland with good views all around. Burke's Bridge and stream 20m to SSW. The road which marks the townland boundary with Moyleroe Big is 5m to NW. A flat-topped earthen mound (H 2.4m) with gently sloping sides. This mound is situated in an area where a complex of buildings is marked on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. Doubtful antiquity.

• WM014-001 Barrow - stepped barrow
  Description

  Situated at the end of a low ridge on partially reclaimed grassland with good views of the surrounding countryside. Townland boundary with Ellenstown 80m to E and mound barrow (WM009-0035----) 300m to N. Monument depicted on 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map as a small mound enclosed by a fosse and outer enclosing berm. Described in 1973 as a ringfort consisting of a low circular mound (approx. diam. 7m) enclosed by a shallow internal fosse and flat berm (approx. diam. 35m N-S; 21m E-W) the outer edge of which is defined by a low earthen bank and external fosse. The presence of the circular-shaped mound in the centre of the monument suggests that this monument represent the remains of burial site rather than a ringfort. The mound in the centre of the site was described in 1976 as an unusual feature the purpose of which was uncertain. The mound could represent the remains of a burial mound enclosed by an internal fosse with berm and external fosse. The profile of the monument suggests that this site may be the remains of a barrow. The mound could be a later landscape feature built onto the interior of a platform type ringfort as hinted at in the 1973 site report.
