The site of a Bronze Age barrow within a group of about 18 alleged cairns located in a field to the southwest of Eairy Kelly was visited by an NHAS excursion in September 1912. 


The leader of the party, the Reverend A.E. Clarke said that the owner had opened a number of these in 1872 and found inverted urns, up to 46 centimetres high, and some bones. None of the urns were preserved but P.M.C. Kermode had a sketch of one of these cairns which he referred to as typical of the rest. He showed on the OS 6 inch map the position of seven of these cairns which he had been able to identify a 'good many years ago', probably in 1899.  They were all ploughed over and indistinguishable, except for a rather long mound which had formed the southwest end of the group. 


Across the road, in the Archallagan plantation, Kermode had made out eleven more, evidently a continuation of the same group. This area was thickly planted with trees in 1912.


This feature was described as a long, grass-covered mound orientated west-northwest to east-southeast, measuring 42 metres long and 20 metres wide. It had a maximum height of 1 metre at its southern end. The mound had no ditch and in the east was crossed by a modern hedge bank. East of the fence the slopes were continuous but said to have once existed as a separate mound. At the west end, the mound almost certainly represented three adjoining bowl barrows. East of the road there are another five ditchless, grass-covered possible bowl barrows with diameters from 13 metres to 20 metres and upp to 0.5 metres high. When investigated, the area to the west of the road was covered with heather, tree stumps and coniferous trees and could not be closely investigated but eight possible bowl barrows were seen, averaging between 8 metres and 10 metres in diameter and between 0.5 metres and 1.5 metres high.
