Round barrow is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site represents the funerary practices of prehistoric communities in Ulster, during a period spanning roughly the fourth to second millennium before the present. As a round barrow, it would have consisted of an earthen mound constructed over one or more burials, a form of monumental commemoration characteristic of both the later Neolithic and Bronze Age periods in Ireland. The monument's survival to the present day makes it a significant archaeological resource for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and mortuary behaviour in the region.
