This one, on the edge of Carrickittle in County Limerick, is barely there at all. What has been recorded is the outline of a small possible ring-barrow, visible only in aerial photographs, and even then not consistently. When researcher Caimin O'Brien compiled the record in August 2019, he noted that the feature could not be detected in Digital Globe aerial imagery, meaning its existence rests on a single photographic reading rather than any confirmed ground survey.

A ring-barrow, for those unfamiliar with the term, is a type of prehistoric funerary monument typically consisting of a low central mound surrounded by a circular ditch and sometimes an outer bank. They are generally associated with Bronze Age burial practice, though many remain undated due to the limited excavation of such sites. The one at Carrickittle, if it is indeed what the aerial evidence suggests, would fit into a broader pattern of such monuments scattered across the Irish midlands and southern counties, often surviving as faint earthwork traces in fields that have seen centuries of agricultural activity. The difficulty of confirming this particular example speaks to how easily these low-lying features are altered or obscured by ploughing, drainage works, and changes in land use over time.

There is no visitor infrastructure here, and anyone with a serious interest in the site would do well to consult the National Monuments Service records before making any trip, since the feature has not been confirmed on the ground. The surrounding landscape is quietly agricultural, and any trace of the monument, if it survives at all, would likely require the right conditions of low sun and dry weather to read from an elevated vantage or a drone. This is, in other words, a site for the committed, those interested in the edges of the archaeological record and the question of what gets counted as a monument when the evidence amounts to a shape seen from the air on a single occasion.
