This is a wonderfully preserved little barrow. What's more it is right by the roadside and very easy to visit, which is a rarity. The central mound is a little over 1m tall and 5m in diameter. Around this there is a 1m wide fosse and an external bank that is also 1m high.
This is the most southerly of a group of barrows on Great Heath (in the townland of Greatheath) and the easiest to get to. The others are in gardens or on the nearby golf course. The unusual thing about this one is that it is located right next to a crossroad - which is why it's so easy to see.
