• WI037-029001 Barrow - ring-barrow
  Description

  Situated on flat grassland immediately N of Knockloe House and to the W of the driveway leading up to the abandoned ruins of this country house. One of a group of 5 possible barrows (WI037-029001-/005-) clustered in a small field (dims. 59m NE-SW; 110m N-S) clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. Site consists of a low circular mound (approx. diam. 8m) enclosed by a wide shallow fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m) with traces of an external bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.1m) in SE quadrant of field adjacent to driveway leading up to Knockloe House. According to landowner this field was used to 'ring horses' in the 19th century. Visible as a cropmark on the 2005 OSI aerial photograph, on this photograph the earthwork (WI037-029005-) in the N quadrant of the field appears to be the formed by a circular feeding trough. The clustering of these earthworks in a small narrow field and their preservation along with their close proximity to Knockloe House may cast doubts on their antiquity.
