There's a track on the map that runs south-east from the road across the saddle between Verschoyles hill and Knockannavea up into the forestry on Knockannavea. South of the track is this supposed barrow cemetery. I searched the vicinity and found some vague remains. It seems that these barrows have long since been ploughed away, a pity really as the site itself is quite beautiful. ryaner Posted by ryaner
