Ring barrows are among the more visually understated of Ireland's prehistoric monuments: a burial mound enclosed by a circular ditch and, usually, an outer bank, the whole arrangement typically no more than a few metres high. They date broadly to the Bronze Age, somewhere in the range of 2000 to 500 BC, and were built to mark the remains of the dead, though the precise rituals involved varied considerably across time and place. What makes them quietly compelling is how thoroughly they have faded into the landscape, fields reshaping around them over millennia while the mound itself persists.
