Barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument represents a funerary tradition characteristic of the Bronze Age period in Ireland, when such earthworks served as prominent markers of elite or communal burial sites within the landscape. The barrow's survival to the present day, despite extensive later settlement and agricultural activity in the region, reflects its original substantial construction. Like other Bronze Age barrows, this monument provides archaeological evidence for burial practices and social organisation during the prehistoric period in Ulster.
