Round barrow is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site represents a characteristic burial tradition of the Bronze Age, when communities marked the graves of their dead with substantial earthen mounds constructed over inhumations or cremations. Round barrows of this type typically date to the period between approximately 2000 and 1000 BC, and functioned as focal points for local communities and lasting memorials to the deceased. The barrow's preservation within the modern landscape provides evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the north of Ireland.
