Barrows

Barrow, Ballyfree, Co. Sligo

In the townland of Ballyfree in County Sligo, a barrow sits in the landscape, classified and recorded but, for now, largely silent in the public record.

A barrow is a burial mound, typically prehistoric in origin, raised over the remains of the dead and built to endure. That this one carries a place-name as quietly evocative as Ballyfree only adds to the sense of a site that has more to say than the available documentation currently allows.
