Barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site represents one of the characteristic burial traditions of the Bronze Age period in the region, when earthen or stone mounds were constructed to contain cremated or inhumed remains, often accompanied by grave goods. Like many Bronze Age barrows in Ulster, it reflects the ritual and commemorative practices of communities during the second millennium before the present era. The monument's preservation and formal designation within the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record testify to its archaeological importance as a surviving example of Bronze Age funerary architecture.
