The Curragh Burial Mound

Archaeology

This Bronze Age barrow survives as a grass-covered, ditchless mound. It measures 23 metres in diameter and is up to 0.5 metres high, having been reduced by generations of ploughing activity.


Antiquarian sources indicate that the barrow is located in a field called Garey Meen, near the Curragh to the East of the road leading from behind the old church to Ballacrye. Cremation urns were found here containing human ashes.
